I may be older than you! But at our age I just like to think we are all the same

Yes, I can check out the local Walmart. Thanks again Paula. You are a saint. I do not know what came over me asking for a recipe for a roll. Pumpkin Roll, Roll, what part of Roll didn't I understand. Like I said, you are a saint. Please forgive an old woman.

I can recommend the one at Walmart and the Key Lime pie at Publix!

OMG! That looks like too much work for me and I do not have a jelly roll pan. Thanks anyway Paula. You really go above and beyond to make desserts like that. I hope they appreciate you. Those days of making special recipes are over for me. I like quick and simple.

I make a lot of cake rolls and the hardest part is over once you have the right pan!
