A Trip to Ikea

For a couple years now I have wanted to go shopping at the Ikea store, but something always comes up when I plan to go and before I knew it, my plans have grown old and weary. Today was the day though to change all that. Emery hardly ever takes Saturdays off from work, so when he took yesterday off to experience some Texas history, I figured he would want to spend the day today working around the place, but he surprised he with plans to head off to Ikea.

What a fun day....shopped for a baby crib for the grandchildren to sleep in when they are visiting and Emery let me pick out my Christmas presents ! It will be hard to keep them hidden until December 25th. They had Christmas decorations out too, some tomte wrapping paper and little ornaments jumped into the cart so I had to buy them.

We had a great lunch, Emery had salmon and I had Swedish meatballs. We split a dessert and watched the people coming and going while we ate.

I could become a loyal customer to Ikea, I love the clean lines of all their furniture and the bright colors for the linens. Now I wouldn't mind doing my entire house over with things from that store. Maybe when things need replacing, I might just shop up there. The prices are so reasonable.
