I love this concept, which reminds me of raising my children. They've all flown the coop, so when they visit me, we usually are visiting in a restaurant, without the benefit of clatter of pans, someone sitting at a kitchen table, and good times with good food being prepared. Restaurants just don't do all that! But I'm happy to have the visits I do have!
Part of the situation is that I don't live with a kitchen table, but rather a big one room living/dining area. It works. I'll include it all as "kitchen."
I've lived in progressively smaller places, since the visits from sons and grandchildren were happening maybe once a year...not enough to keep having spare bedrooms on my budget! But I miss that I can't invite my out-of-town friends. Next week I'm going to go visit one of them myself!
