IKEA SALE II
Plumb forgot to tell y’all: I went to Ikea for the first time Friday night — yes, that is how we old people get our kicks on a Friday night! — and was on sensory overload in a very positive way! I spent a little more than $300 and found my son a huge wooden bookshelf, a tall bureau, two night stands, a chair and ottoman, all sorts of kitchen stuff from plastic bowls to a 32 piece cutlery set. Even better, he can pop these into his truck and take them to school en carton. I am quite excited about the kitchen cabinets I saw, and a decorator confessed to me that everyone — even her — buys Ikea kitchen cabinets for offices, etc. because they are just so darn cheap!
EURO TRASH
Okay that’s mean. But by the time I opened the 40th press release after the long weekend, I was grouchy. Headline: “Now You Can Build a Log Cabin in Less than a Day.” And when I actually saw European Log Cabins, the needle on the crap-o-meter started quivering. Check it out. Has the world gone crazy, or am I just grouchy?
SEALANDER SHOW
June 2 and 3 - Don’t miss this exhibit of photography and mixed media by John Sealander at Trio Gallery, 2404 McKinney Ave., featuring images of east Dallas and the lake–you, of course, know which lake, because White Rock Lake is the jewel of Dallas, the largest inner city lake in the country. If you don’t enjoy the lake, or at least visit occasionally, shame on you. It’s an immediate, out-of-the-city, pastoral experience.
