Every ...This is a brief story about my Aunt Norma.<br /><br />Every year at Thanksgiving time, my family used to gather at my Aunt Diana Adams's house for a big reunion and dinner. All the women brought food, the most notable of which was always the unusual cakes that my Aunt Norma always provided for the get-together.<br /><br />The cakes were onep-of-a-kind: always something with jarringly bright neon colors (coral and indigo, for example, or chocolate and strawberry) and flavors. No one every knew what to expect, but they were always sure that Aunt Norma's cake would be a topic of discussion for some time to come.<br /><br />The cakes looked fairly normal from the outside, but when they were cut into they were revealed in all their polychrome splendor.<br /><br />People talked about them for years afterwards.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406878238507555896noreply@blogger.com
