Hi Ginger,
How far inland are you in Oregon?
Thought you were somewhere along the coast?
What kind of crafts do you do? since the pandemic people have mostly been thoughtful to one another.
I miss Solvang, and ojai. Just to walk around the towns. Santa Ynez valley is like a ghost town. A friend went to Santa Ynez to get take out dinner, and she said no cars, or people anywhere. When she got her take out somebody told her they had no cov19 cases in the area. Maybe it’s too rural?
Take care

@funcountess Solvang is the location of a bakery that had the best Morning Glory muffin I have ever had in my life! I also loved getting to try real ebelskivers there. I have made them so it was good to see if mine tasted anything like those made by real bakers.
Mine, in my and my husband's opinion, are just as good.
JK

@funcountess It is about a 2 hr drive to the coast, I think. We plan to take a few days and go camping there when restrictions are lifted. I crochet, quilt, and practice Zentangle [was certified as a teacher last year].

The towns of Ojai and Solvang are only a little familiar to me. Just never felt the draw since I lived/grew up so close. @lioness I hope you get to Pea Soup Andersen. But there is a little local restaurant across the street called Mother Hubbard's that has much better food. You won't find ableskivers except in Solvang itself, at the Danish restaurant on Copenhagen Drive. @contentandwell, there are three bakeries I can think of in that area that might have made those muffins.

@parus Isn't it funny how things get placed on our priority list in these times? I'm glad you found what you were looking for!

@mamacita I am grateful to see you posting here! We have missed you so much and know that there is a lot going on in your life right now. Hope to see you back here soon.
Ginger
