Bakin' Machine

Gee - whiz! Can't believe it's been a month since my last post! That's what happens when you're so busy you can't come up for air!!! (I'm not complaining, mind you..) I will just have to get better at posting. I still have TONS of cookie pics to post - but find it's been REALLY easy to send from my phone/camera directly to my Facebook page. (I'll keep at it until I've got it all figured out and posting daily on this blog....meahwhile, I'll keep bakin'...bakin'...BAKIN'!!!)

Day 2 as a blogger...

good~morning!
what a beautiful Kansas sky there was before me today...as a very dear friend, T, and i walked the streets of our tiny town. we've just started morning power walks...and i can't imagine trying to jump start my mornings without them, now. we usually end up seeing another dear friend, G, who is out on her power walk with her schnauzer. (i don't get to continue the walk with them...b/c i have to scurry off to the showers...get ready for work.) today i got to go with G, too!

our two dogs, schauzer (Gabby) and black lab (Solly) have started a morning routine, too. they wait by our front window when i leave for my walk...and are waiting (SO excitedly, i might add) for me at the front door upon my return. they then follow me into the bathroom and sleep on the rug while i shower. one of these (brave) mornings i just might try to take them with me on my walk!

today is Saturday....GLORIOUS SATURDAY! (one of my fav days of the week...next to Sunday). since i've started to get really serious about my baking (especially cookies)...i've got some baking to do today!

speaking of baking...brady and i had such a blast baking sugar cookies and creating cool icing colors to decorate them last night. brady made a whole batch of hearts...and even made a really cool 'swirly' cookie (rolling the dough out like a worm ~ then swirling into a circle). she ended her night (YIKES...almost 10:30pm) by creating a 3D mushroom, complete with a stand and little dots on top! she even colored the top with red food coloring, like fingerpainting. she's SUCH a creative girl...it's so fun to watch her create! (i will try my luck at posting a pic or two...)
