Blog time 1100 Thursday at Panera

Wednesday morning we both got up at 0645.  Today is a true easy day.  We are driving to the Detroit to visit IKEA and stop at a discount mall.

It is slow time at the Gardens so Nancy has a rare Wednesday off and Wednesday is always my easy day.  Perfect time for a nice road trip.  We are also taking Petunia.

Stopped at Panera to grab a coffee and bagel to take with us.  Traffic was very heavy on I96 going east, especially truck traffic.  Sure sign the economy is booming.

The drive was very pleasant.  It was a gloomy day with temps in low 30s.  However, no rain or snow so the pavement was dry.

IKEA was not very busy.  I like this store because they have mock ups showing fully furnished small spaces complete with kitchen, dining,  living, bedroom and bath.  I keep thinking I will win the lottery and buy a small cottage.  I will furnish it using Ikea items.

We bought small items like a clothes pole, cookie jar and glass dish.  Last of the big spenders.  For lunch I purchased two of IKEA’s $0.75 hot dogs.  I did give Ms P 1/2 a dog.

We stopped at a rest area so Ms P could do her bidness.  She had a seizure.  We think it was caused by the anxiety of leaving her comfortable environment.

Last stop was a Tanger’s Discount Mall in Howell.  This mall is much larger than the Tanger’s in GR.  Spent an hour looking around around but purchased nothing.

Got home at 1600.  Put out corn for deer, did a load of laundry and took out trash before a nap, followed by apple snack.

Light dinner and of course our after dinner snack.  We watched an episode of No Offence.  We like this show.  I stayed up and watched another episode of the Norwegian show Occupied.
