Although I love plums, I don't seem to include them in much of my baking, so this recipe was a treat, both in the making the recipe & the tasting of tart itself! We both loved the combo of plum & almond, & I look forward to making it to share with others the next time around! Obviously, it's a keeper! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

<p>? Hi! My name is Teresa.? My husband and I like to take RV trips but it seems lately we just us it for vintage motorcross races. I enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, have done some rock climbing but age is creeping up on my poor old bones. Anything to do with the outdoors I enjoy, so why do I live in rainy Washington state? We have 2 wonderful children, both grown. My son lives in LA and my daughter and her husband recently moved back in the area with their little boy...our grandson... who just turned?5 years old. We have a granddaughter who lives close by...she just turned 23 this year. She's a sweetheart.? Life is good when you have a son and a?daughter and they?gift?you with a granddaughter and grandson. :)??</p>
