Another week has zipped by, and it’s time again for Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop. My prompt this week is:
4.)Describe the scene at breakfast.
Breakfast at our house is probably very boring calm compared to some. Since Motor Man is semi-retired, we’re seldom in a rush. Currently, our breakfast of choice is oatmeal, due in part to my higher-than-desirable cholesterol level.
We eat in the little breakfast nook area of our kitchen at an old oak table that we bought at an antique shop. Sundae usually sits nearby, hoping that one day, we’ll have something more to her liking than oatmeal.
We discuss what jobs Motor Man will be working on at the shop that day. And what my plans are: laundry, working on my blog, housework, shopping…well, you get the idea.
Then we clear the table, and Motor Man leaves for the shop.
Our quiet little breakfast is a good beginning to the day.
these days of mine 
Sounds a lot like our mornings – except for the oatmeal part! I love oatmeal, and probably should eat more of it, but I somehow seem to forget about it! Some leftover rebellion from childhood, perhaps?
Nice peaceful moments before the day begins….sometimes THAT’s the only part of the day that you can “count” on! Love your breakfast nook – starting out your morning there must be a pleasure….. 🙂

What a beautiful, old table. And such a peaceful, pretty place to start the day!
Your kitchen is so clean and cozy, just how I pictured it. I love your colors and that authentic oak. Gorgeous!!
Lately I’ve been enjoying steel cut oatmeal … you?

And it is a cozy place to eat and visit. Love it.
Sounds like a wonderful time spent together. Your breakfast nook is so inviting! Love it!
Whaaat? Sundae doesn’t like oatmeal? CH has been eating oatmeal for breakfast almost every day this month. I eat bran cereal. I love your breakfast nook!
And there’s usually a good view of the water!! You’ve added some pieces since I was there! It’s as lovely and inviting as the rest of the house!
Ditto. Love warm oatmeal in the morning, even in summer.
Sounds like you have the perfect combo for a nice beginning to the day…good food, good company and a lovely spot to partake in both!
A lovely spot for breakfast. Very inviting. Calm is good 🙂
Very different from breakfast at my house! I love your little antique table and cozy little breakfast nook. Looks very warm and inviting.
your breakfast eating area is charming and cozy….we are as boring as you! We have oatmeal EVERY morning!!!! Great way to start the day!
Like your breakfast nook, and your choices for the day! Blogging and shopping!

i like your cozy little table. 🙂
You should add that you get up before the sun because it looks dark outside! Your little breakfast area is very inviting.
Your breakfast routine is quite calm. If you want to see an interesting routine you should come to my house (ha ha). As a mom of 2 & 1 on the way, it’s fun times.
I love your breakfast area. That table is so charming!
Great place for a morning bite, looking out on the water .. And I like how you can see the old icebox peeking up over the table … You could probably do a post on that one piece alone ! 😉
You have a pretty breakfast nook, Dianna. Love the square table and your valances are charming! About the only time we sit down together for breakfast is during the weekend. We usually have bacon, eggs and toast…all of those healthy things. 😀
Sounds like a fabulous way to start the day. Your breakfast nook is beautiful. I can’t wait to have mornings like this. Great post!!!
Visiting from Mama Kat’s.
I like that – a non-frenetic, healthy breakfast sounds like a great start. I don’t do oatmeal frequently but when I do I usually think “gosh I should do this more often”!
A nice calm breakfast in your cozy kitchen sounds (and looks) like a great way to start your day!
I love to take my time over breakfast and start the morning with my husband. We get up early enough to spend a half hour at the table. (an hour on the weekends).
Since I work 5 days a week breakfast is no where to be found on the week days! Chuck and I do get to enjoy it on the weekends (sometimes). I love your table.
Looks like a page from a decorating magazine, nice! So, do you take the sunrise photos before or after breakfast? 🙂
Sounds alot like mine and my husbands breakfasts, only it’s Baby-cat waiting for a tastier treat. 😉
I love your breakfast nook, it’s charming. 🙂
Your breakfasts look and sound peaceful!
Great table find!
