Big City Shopping

IKEA

 Observation: Swedish names for things are hilarious. Especially when one has not the first inkling about the Swedish rules of pronunciation and tries to read all the words in a normal, slightly-southern American English accent. Because I’m a reader, and I have to read all the signs. It’s an obsession with me. I can’t help myself.

Fry’s Electronics

One of us usually enjoys this super store more than the other one of us. However, this time I was specifically “needing” a stylus 3-pack. You see, I have a tendency to literally wear out styluses playing Griddlers Plus on our tablet. Fry’s has a 3-pack for $10. Can’t beat that.

Panera Bread

Great sandwiches and salads! I also like the cozy feel of their dining area.

Half-Price Books

I’m sure you can guess that this is my favorite destination. I don’t always buy something, but I am always tempted… and I love to just browse!
