Good Bye Blog

Hi all!
I have made a HUGE decision. O.K. it is not THAT huge but it is important.
This will be my last blogpost on it's a simple little blog.
By January 30 it's a simple little blog will be getting the axe. That was kind of brutal wasn't it? I am not dissappearing completely, just simplifying life a bit.
I will still be posting on my Brick Road Photo blog. It is my hope that if I only have one blog I might actually post on it. Hey, a girl can dream....
Currently I manage two webpages, an online photo gallery, Etsy shop and three facebook pages. Since these are all connected to our businesses I decided axing one of them was probably not the best idea. SO the personal blog get's it!!

I have come to realize that I live through pictures. I feel like every FB post, blogpost, and email I write is naked without a picture. SO the Brick Road Photo Blog seems like the perfect place to share what I need to share.
To those of you that have been sweet enough to read my blog, THANK YOU! You have helped me justify all of the time I have spent talking to myself. *wink*
I do hope you follow me over to www.brickroadphoto.blogspot.com
you can also link to the blog through my website www.brickroadphoto.com
OR see my photo galleries at www.brickroadphoto.smugmug.com
Wow! I am starting to see a pattern here.....
Love to all of you....see you on the other side blog
Jeanne
HA! You thought I was going to forget a picture of some kind didn't you?


Good bye - love y'all

Steps

Happy New Year!
I am not a resolution maker, so I will spare you that "canned" blog post today. I do however try to think about and implement the steps that I can take to improve myself and my little corner of the world.
Confuscious said "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"
Here are a few of the steps I plan on taking in 2013


I will strive to see the beauty in all things


I will cherish and preserve the past


I will make an effort to take better care of myself


I will remember and practice these two little words


I will pray more


I will play more


I will live each step

I wish each of you a wonderful 2013. Full of love and friendship. Remember to take it one step at a time. Cherish the moment
Love and miss y'all
Jeanne

Christmas treats

Today was spent making Christmas treats for our furry family members. Riker, Annie and Molly love these treats! The breeder that we got Riker and Annie from sent us the recipe a couple of years ago. The dogs line up in the kitchen for these when they are cooking. I will say these are not an amazing aroma like baking cookies but it's not a bad smell.

Peanut Butter Pooch Cookies
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup white flour
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 1/4 TBSP Baking Powder
1 TBSP honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cup milk

Combine flours, oatmeal, baking powder. Combine milk, peanut butter and honey in a separate bowl and mix well. Stir peanut butter mixture into the flour/oatmeal mixture. Knead dough and roll out on floured surface to 1/4" thickness. Cut into treats using a cookie cutter. Place on a non stick cookie sheet and bake at 400 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes. 10 for small cookies.
I have found that these last longer in an air tight container.


I found these cute bone shaped cookie cutters at Bed Bath and Beyond. There are 3 sizes in a cute little tin.
I hope your fur babies enjoy these treats like mine do.
Merry furry Christmas!
Jeanne
