FROM DEBBIE H. 12-19-09, RE; CHRISTMAS DAY!

To my great RB friends ~

Want to extend an official invite for Christmas Day dinner at my sister’s place for anyone who wants to hang-out, eat, chat & have fun. My kids will be with the soon-to-be-ex so I’ll be with my family (mom/dad, sisters & bro-in-law) – would love to have more people as we’re used to a noisy household during the holidays! Here are the details:

· Bob & Nadine Holmblad Residence
· 526 Orion Ct., Longmont, CO 80504
· Friday, 12/25/09
· Around 4p – earlier or later as this is very casual & informal!
· No worries about what to bring: we’re pretty easy going folks. It’s always a potpourri/smorgasbord affair! Most important is for you to come & be with friends!
· FYI: shoes are left at the door; so as long as you don’t mind running around in your stocking feet, we don’t mind! Otherwise bring slippers!
· Also, we’re a nonsmoking household (mom is on oxygen) but you’re more than welcomed to brave the weather. There’s a nice view from the back deck!
· Could you RSVP to freebrats2001@yahoo.com so we can guesstimate how much to prepare – but not required cuz we always cook waaay too much food! We LOVE to eat!
· My cell #: 303-885-0633. Holmblad residence: 303-651-6996.

A little bit about the family for conversation:

· Dad (Jack) is 89 yrs old w/Alzheimer’s & dementia – you can talk to him all night about the same thing & he won’t remember a thing!!!! We call him “Jichan”.
· Mom (Mary) is 84 yrs old – on O2 due to years of smoking. Still loves to joke around & have fun. We call her “Bachan”. Celebrated their 60th anniversary but they can’t remember!
· Older sister #2 (Jackie) is … older than me – kind of bossy but doesn’t think so! Sales Rep at Rudi’s Bakery.
· Jackie’s partner (Alice) is … older than me – really easy going. Retired from owning a retail card & stationary store in Denver.
· Older sister #3 (Nadine) is … older than me – also kind of bossy but also doesn’t think so! Really lots of fun. Stocks groceries at the Gunbarrel King Soopers & cares for Mom/Dad during the day.
· Nadine’s husband (Bob) is … older than me too – really, really fun: considered one of the kids cuz he’s addicted to WOW (World of Witchcraft for the uninitiated!) and he’s a Mac genius (retired from Apple).

That’s it in a nutshell – yes, we’re a nutty family! So come on & join the fun! Forewarning – I love to play games so you might get roped into charades or something!!!!

Have a very safe (for those traveling) & happy holiday!

Regards,
Debbie
