I was in the 9th grade and used to leave for school w/the lace down like Mom wanted, then tuck it under the leg of the shorts until I got off of the bus. Poor Mom never knew what I did. I was BAD!Trailbosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560979016510119034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-28938927985428200362009-08-21T17:20:37.546-05:002009-08-21T17:20:37.546-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.

While the bottom crust on this dessert is a fairly thin one, you'll note in the tutorial it fully covered my 9 x 13 pan. I wonder, could it be possible that the pan you used was slightly larger? Thanks for letting me know that you ran across that issue though. I'll be sure to make a note on the recipe.

I had a hard time spreading it out and then in the corners there just wasn't enough dough. I ended up making another 1/2 of the dough and then it worked out. Otherwise it taste fantastic!likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-5642273873880111102009-08-20T10:51:04.782-05:002009-08-20T10:51:04.782-05:00Thanks for taking us down memory lane with you.

I know, we did sort of but it didn't look the same all modified.<br /><br />The sucky thing about back to school shopping here is you are buying clothes for the first day of school in August, when it's scorching hot outside, but in just a month or two the temps start to drop. So you have to buy clothes that will last into fall and maybe even winter...in JULY. I found myself wearing sweaters in August many times just to get to wear my new clothes back to school!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-34461896847507979222009-08-19T13:10:10.035-05:002009-08-19T13:10:10.035-05:00Isn't it amazing that we get these catalogs so...Isn't it amazing that we get these catalogs so far in advance?

It was fun to sit in a booth and people watch! I worked at several stores at that mall over the years too. It was fun!

I bought my first wedding dress in 1983 at a shop there. I loved the little store where you could get taffy. Years later I actually worked at the mall. Wow the memories!<br /><br />It's been three years since I had to leave my coast and move to the Memphis area and I still can't stand the cold. This area may not be considered far enough away to be called "North" but it's pretty cold to me!GRITShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713443532362984814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-66645223409839038002009-08-19T09:10:25.969-05:002009-08-19T09:10:25.969-05:00Sounds FUN!!!Sounds FUN!!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14646178772882717555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-74852453090410804272009-08-19T08:19:02.352-05:002009-08-19T08:19:02.352-05:00Oh and did your Sears have a hot nut vender???

I can breathe - don't you just love taking in that air?<br /><br />Lynda, one of my most favorite dresses was one my Mama made for me. It was a summer frock - a sleeveless shift dress of yellow cotton patterned with dainty flowers. I'm sure that I wore it much too often. I can still see it in my mind's eye! <br /><br />Penniwig, the fashion shows were were best part. To think such excitement over clothes - things that kids today simply take for granted.
