Thursday we took off to see Lindsay and Sean up in Sacramento. We had a great time at IKEa. It amazing what they can do with a little designing and some shopping systems.
We had lunch at their employee cafeteria that they open to the public. Its most famous for its meatballs. Sue was hooked by the shrimp salad. Linzi had the meatballs and I ordered the loin barbecue ribs. What a treat. The deserts are wonderful. Chocolate cake, a toffee torte and the apple cake/pie thingy. Like all good employees at the corporate cafeteria, we bussed our dishes.
The big purchase was a new comforter for Sue. It is a great place to get a very nice one for a very good price. They have such a diversity that you have to think about the weather inside your house before you buy one. How warm is your house when you go to sleep? The comforters are rated by relative warmth. Along with a comforter you need to get a duvet to go along. Sue has decided to give up her cheap "bed in a bag" for a new set and a new color scheme. Her new one is a brick orange. Tons of other "stuff" found their way into our shopping cart. It was a good experience and I am very glad that we do not live too near a an IKEA because we would be shopping there often. The Swedes have a great insight as to what needs to be for sale and for what price. IKEA is a Swedish company.
After that we headed to the Arden area Goodwill. Sue is happiest when she can snag a great buy in a goodwill. This one, although it has been somewhat shorten and diminished by newer ones that have taken its business, seems to have some very nice books and clothes that many of the others do not.
Linzi had been out to coast earlier in the week. She brought back some samples of some pretty outrageous cheeses from the area. As they say in Facebook...nom nom nom.
Have a great weekend
Pat
