Figuring out what to do that day and in what order. I plan my day. Usually in summer one highlight might be going out to see my garden and work in it for a little while. Maybe I'll walk over to the beach and see what it looks like today. Go for a relaxing drive in the countryside and take my camera. Visit the town thrift store which is more like an antique shop--always fun, people there are even fun. Going on short trips to Maine. Winter is different. The highlight is probably enjoying the few hours of daylight.
No day is the same so it's hard to say. We go on many long trips but when we are home I'd say the long breakfasts in bed looking at the view out our front window. On gym days when I get out early in the morning it's the satisfaction when I finish a hard workout and feel 20 years younger than I am.
Having tons of time to work on my photography skills. Being able to spend all day reading a good book.
We've had an unusual summer here in which we've had many days in a row every week where it's sunny and in the 70's. I love sitting on the porch or riding my bike or walking on the beach during these times. Paradise.
Biscuitpop's special morning brew: espresso / chicory / Bailey's Cream / frothed milk, topped with cinnamon, in a jumbo clear glass mug.
We have this every single day at home and most days when we're traveling. It's kind of an obsession. We tote the espresso, chicory, Bailey's, cinnamon, milk, and frother, and only once in a blue moon encounter a hotel that doesn't have a coffeemaker we can work with.
The highlight of my day is finding out my name is not in the obituary section of the morning paper. Then I get particularly excited watching them refill the gumball machines at the corner drugstore.
Walking a couple holes on the golf course with the dogs every evening at dusk. It's beautiful, sometimes I feel like I live in a big park. We watch for wildlife... bunnies, deer, foxes, turtles, ground hogs...and of course adding to our used golf ball collection.
The highlight of my day is waking up fairly early (or whenever I want) and having a few hours to myself to watch the news, drink my coffee, putter around the house, etc.
Then when my husband wakes up, I usually say, "What do you have planned today, Mr. Social Director?" If he's not playing golf due to the heat, he usually has a day trip planned for us. (Yesterday we went to Charlie, Texas, for the peaches and Mineral Wells, Texas, for the water. We had a great BBQ lunch at Shotgun's BBQ in Mineral Wells, too.)
My husband usually always has an idea for something to do. I like the unexpected day trips he plans. Makes retired life fun.
Every morning when I wake and start another day of my perpetual vacation!
