Personal Notes:
This is a great, refreshing Jello dessert. Looks really pretty in a mold because of the 2 layers. You can garnish with fresh mint leaves and whipped cream.

One of my roommates in college, Suzanne Waddell, made this dessert for us, and I really loved it. There were 4 of us at 1206 Stearns West, an apt. dorm, in Williams Village at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
