It’s Dec. 22, 2007 and many friends and family will gather here today for a Christmas brunch, sure wish you could all join us, that would just add to the many family members sharing smiles at our breakfast table. Just thought we would somehow share our day with you. Merry Christmas and a Hapy New Year from our house to yours.

Christmas Brunch At The Rideout’s

Twas three days before Christmas,
At the Rideout’s house they say,
Everyone gathered to have brunch,
Lots to eat throughout the day.

There was bacon and ham,
sausages and hash browns too,
French toast, sweetbread and quiche,
Just to mention a few.

They’d gather for a fine feast,
The tables were set fancy and bright,
True friends would all be seated,
To feed their hungry appetite.

Pictures they would be taken,
To  share with others by the score,
As dear friends and family,
Would come through the front door.

Smiles and many HoHo’s to share,
In the midst of a wonderful day,
As they share good conversations,
Before going on their merry way.

Twas three days before Christmas,
Not a single moment to waste,
So gather at the Rideout’s,
For smiles and good food to taste.

Almost sounds like a Waltons Christmas! Big table! Nicely decorated. Maybe a little more uppity from the Waltons but the warmth and love seems to be the same. :-)

As I get ready to go preach for a pastor who had hip surgery, this makes me hungry. I can even smell the bacon.

...and I know that when Rose hosts a brunch it is always a feast, so wish I could have been there in person as well as spirit. You, Fred, Christa and all the rest of your friends and family were in my heart though as I made my entrance into Santa land yesterday with a rebel yell of "Ho Ho HO, Merry Christmas to all!"

Brunch, lol, only Americans could come up with that. I guess it's a late brekky with an early lunch.

You chaps say in one word that would take us erm

"Well it is rather late for breakfast, but to darn early for dinner/lunch, so I say lets combine the two and join the Rideouts for brunch at their b.ranch"



Have the greatest of times..Bottoms up...
