Pineapple Icebox Dessert with Vanilla Wafers

Opal Faires Troop never had any kids. 

My husband and sister-in-law remember her as being very set in her ways

and always having to be on best behavior when they went to visit her in Oklahoma City.

Maybe it's because I met her as an adult. 

Or maybe it's because she was always nice to me and loved

holding my son when he was a baby.

But I liked Opal.

I liked Opal alot.

And I miss her now that she is gone. 

Which is why it is especially nice to have her recipe. 

It's the kind of recipe you could take to a potluck and never get a chance

to try it unless you were in the front of the line.

I doubt you'd have even have a crumb to bring back. 

Especially on a hot summer day.

It will be here soon enough!  

But until it is...make your family some of Opal's Pineapple Icebox Dessert

and make your plans for warmer weather!
