I sometimes sit down with the guys and gals at the 'round table' or sometimes just give them a wave. In a town of less than 500 hundred people, I know most everybody on a personal level. I always leave this place with a smile on my face! <br />Just a little routine of mine.<br />hugs,<br />juneJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283259375743586344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089729732491247582.post-73432224199847955682010-11-29T19:13:14.969-08:002010-11-29T19:13:14.969-08:00I can relate to this one too!

Upon awakening I go to the window to see the horses in the paddock, or at least make sure they are IN the paddock. Then I make coffee and watch the birds out the window and any other visitors in the garden. I take my coffee back to my room and write. Soon it is time to go out to the barn , after I check email of course <>.<br />Routines can be comforting. . .if we get to choose :)<br /><br />happy day!marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123606108378816441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089729732491247582.post-28465128547169625282010-11-29T13:30:03.769-08:002010-11-29T13:30:03.769-08:00Sometimes I wish I could follow a routine, I'm...Sometimes I wish I could follow a routine, I'm usually flying by the seat of my pants!
