Saturday mornings well actually almost any morning, my ritual is, wake up - use the facilities (aka toilet) - let the kids out the door for them to use their facilities (aka front yard) - fetch the newspaper off of the driveway (still haven't taught the kids how to do that) - feed the kids - start the coffee - wait patiently for said coffee to complete it's dripping - pour that first cup - sip and marvel at the fusion of sweetener & coffee creamer - sit in favorite chair and read the newspaper. In spite of all that is available on the internet, I am still one of the few that enjoys reading a real newspaper, holding it and reading it in b&w. I gather tidbits, cut out articles and simply enjoy the drinking of coffee and reading the newspaper to begin my days. For this I am grateful.
Until next time.....

ReplyDeleteI enjoy the same ritual. Only, we only have one 'kid'.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Perfect morning. My mornings are mostly the same except I tend to catch up with things (my family) on Facebook and other Internet happenings whilst enjoying my coffee.
ReplyDeleteA great way to start your day!
ReplyDeleteWhat different starts of the day we have :) It isn't so structured over here with little ones. I love you mug.
ReplyDeleteOur town has moved to the paper on-line 4 days out of the week and 3 days we get an actual print copy. I only read it on the real days. I tend to get my blog reading done while I eat breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteLove my mornings that start out with Joe. You and I have a similar routine, except instead of a paper I use the ipad. :) Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you, Deanna. I love a real newspaper. And now that I'm retired, I love that I can read it front to back with my breakfast. And of course, I love that 'signature' mug!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite an awesome mug!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love getting up before my husband and just sitting with the paper and having my cup of coffee.
It's my wake-up time before the day really gets going.
Your mug is beautiful! So glad that you enjoy the small things in life that we so often take for granted! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVERY similar morning rituals we share. But YOU have a much nicer cup :)
ReplyDeleteYep, nearly the same thing here . . . although instead of the paper, mine is a sit on the front porch and a walk through the garden to spot any critters! haha
ReplyDeleteI love to start the morning with a cup of Joe.. And it taste so good when its in a pretty mug, don't ya think. but drats.. no paper here.. I am always so behind on the news. Sometimes I think that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Hugs~
Sounds like a wonderful way to start the day! After using the "facilities," our first order of business is feeding the critter, too. Coffee while reading the paper--a wonderful combination!
ReplyDeletea nice way to start your day; I'm with you on that kick-start caffeine too Deanna
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great start to the day. I don't read the paper, and try not to listen to too much news...it's all bad anyway. My caffeine of choice is a Dr Pepper...I have never been able to get used to the taste of coffee.
ReplyDeleteHi Deanna Sounds a great way to start the day for you. Nowadays here papers are not delivered adn I canot drink coofee before 11am.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love relaxing mornings and...I want that mug! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteWorth being grateful for!!
ReplyDeleteYour routine sounds like a great way to gather your thoughts and begin your day. I read only electronically now - in fact, last week I took 7 boxes of books to the library. I'm much lighter since this remodel began!
