Swedish delivery

At the exit of the IKEA in Valbo (about 10 km from Gavle), there is a delightfully Swedish picture.  It shows a man riding a cargo bike ( one with a platform between the rider and the front wheel) through the snow, laden with IKEA boxes and on the top some wine and flowers.  He is obviously in Stockholm as there was a water channel behind him and a glass building on the other side.  Here is my version:
I am on Jennie's town bike -- three speeds, three baskets-- doing the toting of two lovely items for TE -- a shelf with little baskets for toys, books, etc. and a child's Poang chair.  Neither had been our intent when we cycled out there, but Tova Elise just loved the chair -- up, down, sprawled, and any other way -- so we thought that would be nice.  In the 'as is' section were two of the shelf units that Jennie had looked at from time to time (at about 1/4 of their regular price), so we took the one that was in the box (and picked up the other later this afternoon on our way to mountain biking).  Thanks Ikea for lots of string to tie everything down and together and with Jenn in front pulling TE in the Chariot, we made our way home with no problems.  Seemed like a very Swedish adventure!
