Morning Routine






Most of the time, we go to the late Mass, so there's plenty of time for a leisurely morning routine: tea, the comics (especially Prince Valiant), and the NY Times crossword puzzle.

    Prince Valiant is still made? As is Family Circus? Has PJ grown up yet or is he still a baby? What about Barfy the dog, is he still alive? Thanks for the memory jog, Bobbie. I haven't looked at a comic section in years!

    PJ is still drooling and in diapers; Barfy is still alive and well. And yes, Prince Valiant is questing--though Arn is now grown and serving as regent, since King Arthur is too old to rule. The only reason I still get the Sunday Hartford Courant is that it runs Prince Valiant. Other than that, the paper has become nothing but ads and white space (not to mention the conceit that life doesn't exist outside of Connecticut)so I wouldn't bother. But I love Prince Valiant--the artwork is fantastic.

    seems a lot like my routines. A pot of tea, newspaper and some sudokus to wake up with is a greatstart of a day and.... sometimes the laptop joins to ;-)

    This layout it very pleasing to the eye..dont recognise any of the comics, though, as I'm in the UK...all thats missing (in my opinion) is a tasty snack!

    Lovely picture! I've tried to establish a morning routine like this, even bying a daily crossword calendar, but I just don't have time for anything except showering and eating breakfast in the morning. Might be because I always sleep as long as I possibly can. :D

    Great illustration of your morning routine. Sounds relaxing. I remember reading Prince Valiant too.

    I'm so happy you use pencil and eraser! LOL I was always intimidated by those people on the subway who would be doing the Times puzzle in pen! Great shot that shows your routine.

    Add a cup of coffee and there is my Sunday morning routine! A;though my favorite comic is Zits. It deals with a teenage boy and I swear they are spying on my son! Nice clean, crisp image.

    What a cozy image.

    I sure didn't know that Prince Valiant was still around. I thought only Arn lived on as a crossword clue. It ruins my day to not do the NYT puzzle in ink.
