IKEA ...

aka: THE Mothership! Well, second to Target! :0

One must not miss a shopping trip to IKEA on the way home! This picture is of the IKEA at Schaumburg, Illinois. If you've never been to an IKEA store before, you are in for a retail experience compared to no other. Three floors of modern-utilitarian furniture and other must-haves beckon you to buy. If you didn't anticipate spending an entire day shopping and in need of some grub, not to worry. There is a restaurant that serves Swedish foods such as potatoes with meatballs, cream sauce and lingonberry jam and hot dogs. The lingonberry jam is fabulous!

I always go with the intention of looking and not buying. My bank statements will tell you otherwise!

Sweet Home Chicago!!!

There's absolutely no greater city in the world than the one in my own backyard!!! (More on my trip later on.)

The conditions of my latest visit were less than ideal but I had such a blast! Mini-mom, you are my constant source of inspiration. I look forward to more international coffee moments with you! :)



Now ...

I want to thank everyone for the their concern and prayers directed towards my papi's well-being. In due time, his better days will come.


Take care and God bless!
