Now, Jon and I have never been there, and we&#8217;ve been wanting to go for a long time.  I love that place.  Really.  It is a good thing that we are living in an apartment that we don&#8217;t care about fixing up  &#8212; rather than a home that we own, for example &#8212; because I would probably still be there right now, looking and dreaming and taking notes and measurements.  It also helps that I&#8217;m thrifty, kind of, and don&#8217;t want to buy something unless I really, really need it.  But Jon and I both loved this light fixture and decided that we must have it for our dining area.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"images\/newlight.jpg\" width=\"299\" height=\"362\" border=\"0\" alt=\"our new Ikea light fixture\">  <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t you just love it?  And it was a great price too.  It is just part of the revamp that we do around here every few years, as opposed to moving on like everyone else.  But don&#8217;t get me wrong now, Annie is not complaining today.  The ten years we&#8217;ve had in this apartment have been good.  Really.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>And, I promise that I&#8217;ll post that recipe for Miniature Apple Gallettes tomorrow.  So check back if that sounds yummy to you.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you, IKEA One thing that we did while in Chicago was to visit IKEA.
