A 30th And A First
This week we are celebrating our 30th wedding annivery, so we're spreading out the fun by doing a few new things. Today we visted an IKEA store for the first time. Even after several hours of browsing I don't think I'd be very good at Cal Henderson's IKEA Game. I do remember that some juice-sized glasses we looked at bore the name "Groggy". We considered them, but finally bought some red ones instead. I can't recall what they were called. But their color is going to wake up anybody who drinks juice from them.
When your feet get tired and you get hungry the store has a cafeteria selling Swedish meatballs, potatoes, lingonberries and other goodies. It's definitely an interesting store, but I have a feeling it's a madhouse on weekends. We did have a good time exploring the place. If you know someone who's compulsively nosey, send them there. There are things in drawers and in cabinets, things just around corners and things hidden in all sorts of nooks and crannies. A lot of the products are not of a quality to last for a lifetime of use, but I've seen items in upscale places that fell apart or looked awful after brief use and cost a whole lot more money. If you have to furnish a dorm room or a kid's room in a hurry you could get some great ideas at IKEA.
