Grandma Oborn's Lemon Cheesecake

Grandma Oborn's Lemon Cheesecake

This has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years!  It is a light and delicious cheesecake.  I love Jeff's Grandma Oborn.  She was a delightful person who was one of the hardest workers I have ever met!  She was always on the go!  One day, in the middle of Adam's cancer, I felt like I couldn't get out of bed.  I had a thought come to me that I should pray for Grandma Oborn's help.  I had miraculous energy and drive that day that I know could have only come from her.  I know she is STILL watching over her posterity!

18 graham crackers
4 T. powdered sugar

Crush graham crackers. Melt butter. Combine 2 ingredients with the powdered sugar.  Press a little more than half in bottom of 9x13 pan.
