Harriet's greatest pleasure in life was spending time in the kitchen. There wasn't a recipe she couldn't recreate. Cooking for others was her love language.  At the age of 70+ she went back to school. She was working toward a law degree. She felt that age was just a number, and if there was something you wanted to do you should just do it.
