Green Jello Salad Plus - Pear Delight / Aunt Frances's Lemon Salad

Started out the day today with two jello salads - one for us and one to give away. The one for us was Pear Delight. This is a salad that Mother made a lot and that I used to make, back in the day when I used to make jello. It's easy and tasty. The yellow salad is Aunt Frances's Lemon Salad. It has grated cheese in it. All the salads with cheese, sour cream or cream cheese will be given to someone, since Doug won't eat them. In fact, he took one look at the Pear Delight tonight and said, "Is that the one with cottage cheese in it?" I said no, and he said, "It looks like the one with cottage cheese in it." See what I'm up against? We'll be giving away a lot of salads.
