When covid quarantine started we "renamed" our apartment and started calling it the "Stay-Inn" - it made it feel better than just saying we were stuck at home. We've had guests a few times during the past couple of years and this week cousins from Chicago came to visit the Pacific Coast and us. Thus, Sunday brunch at the "inn". BTW, the nut dishes are the silver-plated ashtrays that my father used in the 1950s and 1960s and the other dishes are "corn-on-the-cob" plates that my mother used during summers in those decades.
@joemuli@seattlite@jgpittenger@shutterbug49@haskar@joansmor@onewing@helenhall Thanks for your "feedback" on the buffet...if you happen to be in the Salem, Oregon area, let me know and we'll open the buffet! @jgpittenger come by sometime...roast veggies, smoked salmon, croissants, fruit, cheeses, nuts and dried fruits! anytime. @helenhall yes the Stay-Inn has been delightful considering. The chef (aka...me) has gotten much better; housekeeping (aka me) does leave quite a bit to be desired!
