Buffet and Trip Information with Dad and Pat

       At long last a trip over to Paradise Valley to brunch buffet with Dad and Pat.  Traffic was short and sweet and so smooth we had plenty of time to shop and get gas and still arrive at our time of eleven a.m.

          After a drive the custom is to sit and relax, catch up with some usual news and then head down to the "Big House" for the Sunday Buffet.  While Dad and I talked about the goats clearing some of the plant debris

 Joyce and Pat drove up to the buffet in the Nitro.  The food as usual was visual stunning, and while shooting some of pictures, one resident asked if I was employed by the marketing department!!!!

                  I must admit that was a great idea, and I am, with these blogs trying to get such a gig, but working for a marketing department had not entered my realm of possibilities, so it now has to become one of my attempts at finding this type of job for some company.

        Some of the stuff, like bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs and waffles was the usual fare, the carmelized onion hash(brownns), the pork loin with a dried fruit compote, chicken marsailis , and the

 shrimp dish were not only great visuals, but were very good to the sense of taste. The chocolate eclairs and the lemon bars and all the desserts again satisfied the typical sweet fanatic's wish list.

        On the way home Pat and Joyce made a point to entertain my Dad  and I as they made the pass by us, to give us the finger.  I didn't see my Dad's reaction, but for sure I was cracking up.

        During our visit we learned of the next four months filled with various trips to many different locations, finishing off with the group family expedition to the Rhine River at the time of the Christmas Markets.

       Before the phone rang and Pat left our conversations on the porch, she talked about sitting by herself and watching nature's tuning forks playing their tunes out, including the family of deers, and while the kids sat and

ate a meal, Mom sat and watched them thru the window and the blinds.  This being Steven, wondering how the trips will come to pass, and looking forward to the stories that will follow, Child
