Here is a picture of Carolyn NOT shopping at IKEA. Since the Swedish furniture & furnishings superstore opened in our area 10 days ago, we thought it would be nice to drop in and see how it compared to other IKEA stores we've visited in Souther California. Nice thought. When we got there the parking lot was overflowing with parking attendants who knew only how to wave people on, not give advice or actually direct anyone to a parking space. What few parking spaces were opening up from people exiting the store, had 3 or 4 vehicles in line to fill. We did fine some empty spaces half a mile away only to be told by yet other parking attendants that those spaces were reserved for "employees only".
So instead of actually walking more than half a mile to find out if the crowd inside was as crazy as the parking outside, we took a liesurly drive up Old River Road, the road that is on the Yolo County side of the Sacramento River. We had a great view of the swollen river and the homes along the Garden Highway on the other side of the river. We also saw some wonderful farms on the Yolo County side and virtually no homes. Interesting how developments occur.
We ended up at Costco for our traditional lunch and hors d'oeuvres (free samples in the food aisles) after which we found the flowers just too enticing to pass up. Spring must be in the air.
