early saturday mornings

i've had my first cup of coffee, dogs fed, cats fed, mojo on my lap as i type.
saturday is full of promise. yes i have the normal list of chores, and some extra as it's 2 days till christmas, but oh, how sweet to know the day is my own, a walk with the dogs later, time to make a good meal, share laughter with my family, maybe a chance to hear live music or see a movie tonight. i will get the see the sunlight in my kitchen as i'm writing checks later(and see all the dust bunnies on the floor too ;) ). life is good on saturdays. enjoy yours too

I have to work! We have many catering orders going out today for tomorrow.
Good thing about Saturday, instead of 5:30am I go in at 8am. ;)

The same scene is repeated here too. :) Coffee by my side, dogs and cats fed and Ripley on my lap as I type. :)

I love Saturdays too. A little later on Christiansmommy will be stopping by with her family to exchange gifts and leave Harlee with us for a few days. She is traveling to her in-laws to meet up with her hubby's brother who is coming in from Guam and hubby's sister who is coming in from Boston.

Let's toast with our coffee mugs for a happy, peaceful and restful weekend. After the long work week we deserve it. ;)

Awwwww... what a sweet thread!

I wish my Saturday is as full of promise as yours, but I doubt it since I have to work all day! :D :p

since july, i've worked most saturdays. just being in my kitchen and drinking coffee with the critters is so wonderful, i had to share. i feel the pain of the up early outta-the-door-travel-mug-in-hand crowd.

I woke up this Saturday morning to find my faithful bed partner Samantha in bed with me and Chester and Amy on the floor by my bed watching me. Now they are gathered around my computer chair. It is great to be alive isn't it?

Enjoy your day everyone :)... hopefully it is not too hectic for you all.. especially those that have to work. It is currently 1am on Sunday morning here.. so Saturday has been and gone, we had dog training in the morning then i went and finished off my Christmas shopping ;).

Yes, Saturday mornings really are the best. :)

This week, due to the snow storm, I've had the last 3 days off. :eek: And at my jobs I have the next 2 weeks off....so today is an especially good Saturday. I've already cleaned and prepared- now all I need to do pick up my mom from the airport and have fun!

It's funny how we all have our Saturday routines- mine is about the same. Get up, let the dogs out, let them in, feed them & the cats, then go online with some tea and relax for a while. :D

Saturdays are my favorite too. Just running around doing errands with my husband is a pleasure because we do it together. Satuday nights are quiet ones at home, with is just fine with me.

I worked too. I have Mon and Tuesdays of but am taking tomarrow off of course. Week days off are nice most of the time. no one or few at the park less shoppers ect.

Yes this morning was so nice and full of promise I woke up at 5 and feed the dogs got dressed and watched the sun rise went to go feed my horses and cows in the beautiful crisp morning air... came back to the house and drank some coffee before heading to work to take care of the sweet furkids there!!(I work at a vet's clinic) it was a really great morning I hope that everyone else had one too!

up early again, coffee, critters and the glow of the christmas tree at 6:30am, back to bed till 8, then out in the yard to keep raking MORE leaves, cut the grass, for the very last time in 2006(for sure :D ) and working on the mounds of laundry. another saturday.

12 Noon here and to me it's still morning as I'm still in my comfy, cozy flannelette nightgown. I've been working at my dining room table and Max has been helping me finally get some Christmas stuff ready to send in the mail. Have to go to the PO later so I guess that means I have to get dressed and clean myself up. :(

Later, I've got some housecleaning to do but will be enjoying a very relaxing evening and lazy Sunday and Monday. Tuesday, it's back to work.

What a nice thread. It's nice to see so many of us enjoying the simple pleasures in life!!! Thank you! :)

:eek:

"Cut the GRASS" :eek: :p :(

I can remember having to take the Snow Blade off "Odd Job" (the Kubota Tractor)
and re-connect "Woody" (the rear-mounted Mower) -
for a Christmas weekend of Lawn Mowin many years ago ...
50-60 Degrees that day, and it had been warm for almost two weeks -
long enough to completely confuse the grass & weeds into thinking it was "spring"!

Within a week we had a foot of SNOW - and I was re-mounting the Snow Blade!

I vowed that year that "we" would NOT be rolling out the "Lawn MAintenance Crew"
after Turkey Day ... (wishful thinkin!)

I noticed today (55 Degrees) ... the darn Grass is GREEN in spots -
and is most definately *GROWING*!

:eek:

I keep hoping ...
After 30 years of guiding Odd Job around the same Ranch ...
he'd have Learned the Route and could tow ole Woody around without ME riding along ...

Hey CINDER --- Wanna go for a Tractor Ride? Hop On - and keep a lil overlap on each pass!
Smokey can drive OJ later if you get tired.
