Meyer Lemon Bread

Mmmm, this smelled so yummy cooling in my window this morning. This is my mom's recipe, and the lemons came from her tree. It's a very sweet bread, almost like a cake. You can lesson the impact by substituting a little whole wheat flour if you'd like (that's always how I justify my sugar intake.) : )
