• TRIED ’N’ TRUE: Whip up a rhubarb surprise cake

  This recipe comes from Ruth Baker. She sent a lot of rhubarb recipes. I have been putting them in the paper for the last three years. I’ve almost used most of them. Some I have used more than others. Mary Hunter also had this recipe. I have made this a lot. Gene really likes this. I use sweetener and yellow or white sugar-free cake mix. The only sugar I put in this recipe is in the marshmallows. Adjust for this. Our grandkids also enjoy this cake. Thanks to Ruth and Mary.

  It’s merely one word, yet the conjunction of those six letters conjures up so many meanings and feelings.

They can guide us on our journey, pick us up when we fall, and let go when we must find our own strength.
