Pecan Pie Bars

Once again this wonderful neighbor walked in with the most amazing dessert.  Marcia Hassel grows a yard that's filled with drifts of flowers that Robert has always been in awe of.  She bakes as well as she gardens which is very professional.  And she's such a great sharer.  PLUS,,,even better she stays around to chat. She's going to be 70 and has never married, has had heartbreaks, has a twin brother, and 7 other older siblings.  Loves horses and silver anything.  She will talk and listen equally.  We love her.
