The other day, when I put the fresh lemons into a bowl and placed them as a centerpiece on the kitchen table, the hubby stated “You aren’t just going to use those as a decoration for the table now are you? Nope, with lemons in this house it’s like hitting the jackpot.  The hubby absolutely loves all things lemon. Can you tell?  Especially sweets, just like these fun Lemon Thins. Why not put a little happiness in your life and make something lemon.  It will definitely make your day that much better. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
