Furnishings....

A number of furniture stores in Madison had sales over the weekend. They did what they intended: packed the customers into the stores. Parking at the west-side American was horrendous. We didn't find anything we were looking for there, so we moved on to Steinhafel's. Parking was better, but we found the same situation. On our way back home we stopped at Oak Express, on the east side, and found what we were looking for, and much better parking. We ended up with a dining room table with four side chairs and a pair of end tables. We probably could have stood to buy two more chairs, but frankly, we don't have the room for them right now. It turned into a productive but tiring weekend.
