Brunch

Every year at this time, Roberts Wesleyan College and Northeastern Seminary throw a Holiday Brunch for all their faculty and staff. Its a wonderful time to chat with your colleagues and friends, to meet their families, to be together as a family.

As we entered Garlock Dining Commons, we were greeted by one of the Art Faculty and filled out a name tag. Friends and co-workers waved to us to join their tables. First, we filled our plates with good food. The tables down the center of Garlock groaned with a huge selection of foods - quiche, eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins, canoles, danish - just about anything you could want. At the far end of the room is the waffle station - I headed straight for their table. One fluffy waffle swimming in strawberries - oh, yum.

This year they gave all the kids teeshirts designed by one of the art students. Kiel and Drew liked the black color and the scrolly design. I signed for this year's tree ornament, the refurbished old library building now known as the Hastings Center for Academics. A great addition to the other building ornaments I now have.

After good conversation over good food, we went to the east side of the room to have our family portrait taken. Last year it was just Drew and I. This year, Kiel joins the fun. Kiel who is now a Communications major and settling in to a new position as third and fourth grade Sunday School assistant at Pearce.

It was a wonderful and relaxing morning. Now all I have to do is finish my 20 page paper, prepare a ten minute presentation, print everything out, and finish this year's Christmas poem. All in good time.
