Flo's Good Lemon Bars

For as long as I can remember, my mom has been making Flo's good lemon bars. Today you see them everywhere, but 40 years ago this was a unique dessert. The recipe came from my mom's friend Florence, and they were the hit of many Los Angeles parties in the 50's and 60's. There are many recipes out there for these bars, but here is my original recipe. I hope you enjoy them.
