Grandma's Texas Sheet Cake

 This is Grandma's Sheet Cake recipe that she loved to make.  She loved that Grandpa and her had shelled the nuts that she put on the top of the cake.  I remember the vanilla from Mexico that she loved to use in her baking.  I still can see her kitchen and the funny thing that I remember the most is how slick her glasses where.  Grandpa said that it was because of the water softener that they had.  I had never felt glasses like that before.  Funny things that we remember as kids.   Happy Days!!!!
