gwiw

Thank everyone. I got Steven's number from a couple of people and he is still doing car repairs, which I was very happy to hear. Thanks again.

Thanks for letting me know. Sorry to hear he is out of business.

does anyone know if Johnboy automotive is still doing business. We used Steven several years ago, and I have since lost his card and number. We are needing some ac/heating coil repair done on my son's car. Any information or suggestions on another mechanic would be helpful. Thanks

We did the same last weekend. Me and DH went to do some errands on Sunday and ending up buying a Lexus SUV. Was soooo happy to give up the minivan.

Wish I could enjoy the beautiful morning on the porch.....but off to work Hope everyone enjoys this wonderful morning. "It's beginning to look like FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Enjoy! This is my favorite time of the year

Just wanted to Give a "shout out" to Johnboy Automotive. Our 17 year old just got a car and we took it to him to fix a few things that we knew were wrong when we bought the car. He fixed it for a fraction of the price a service station wanted. He did a great job. It was wonderful meeting him. I have read many wonderful things about him here on p.com. Knowing that he worked on her car and wouldn't let it leave his shop until it was ready and safe for her to drive gives us great peace. We now have a mechanic we can rely on and trust. Thank you Steven. You are the best!!!!!

Brought tears to my eyes. Nervous nellie here, because dd is driving on her own now!

I think a simple cross is fine. I do believe some get carried away with the balloons and bears. There is one on Dallas Hwy with an umbrella. But I understand why the teenagers put up the memorial for their friend. I like what Florida does....they have a small circle..... probably the size of a cantaloupe, with Drive Carefully and then the deceaseds name on it. Very appropriate, but not gawdy. And it is a reminder to all that passes to slow down and to drive more carefully.

Found 2 different versions. One has corn syrup and the other has melted marshmallows. I have used the Wilton version before and it has NO flavor. So I haven't thought about using it again. I will have to make these and see which one I like better. I will let everyone know. I am sure my daughters will have making stuff with these, like little people sleeping with blankets, flowers, elmo etc. Ooohh I can just see their little minds going....

Ok...now 17 year old daughter is in kitchen making cupcakes for tomorrow. We tried this butter cream recipe and I will have to say it is going to be my go to frosting. It was amazing. Thanks for posting My earlier post asked if it would be thick enough for piping and decorations....to answer my own question......YES!!!! Great flavor and it is white. We used clear vanilla extract and unsalted butter. 10 yr old is going to like this frosting better than the other one she used. It was hard for her to make the roses because the one we used was a little soft.

Thanks she had fun doing it.

Maybe I need to set up a table and give FREE samples this summer. Her sister is in the kitchen now making cupcakes. I don't know how much of this I can take......

Yes, she is 10 and she did a great job. We did have some tears when she was making it because according to her it wasn't perfect. Had to explain she is only 10 and not a professional and not everyone can do this. She did feel better when her sister and some neighbors saw it and gushed all over her. Oooohhhh Lawd help me if this is what her teen years will be like. Her sister wasn't soooo emotional. I guess there has to be one in every family. She is already wanting to bake another cake. I will be giving pieces of that one away for sure.

THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate all the help. Thanks for getting it posted. Everyone on hear is great. sorry....everyone on here is great...not hear. To much cake.....can't think right.....brain is clouded with frosting!
