Friday 1/11/13


We had another busy day at work today.  I spent some time straightening out the art sections.  They have a lot of donated art and posters in frames and they were all willy-nilly.  I was able to put them into the racks by size so now you can flip through and see what you are looking at.  We had a lot of glassware come in, some old decorated screens and a stained glass window.  The screens went in the first hour.  Someone also bought an old frame that came in this morning - she is going to spray paint it gold and I'm sure it will look fantastic!  We had two 60 inch HD TV's come in and one customer bought it right off the truck as it was being unloaded!  After work we drove up to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.  We were a bit underwhelmed with most of the aquarium, but we did get to see Winter (of the Winter: a Dolphin's Tale fame).  She lost her tail and was fitted with a prosthetic.  (see photos)  They do a lot of rehab here - turtles, otters, dolphins, pelicans.  The other photo is of a spotted moray eel who seemed to be smiling at us.  They have a trolley that goes across the causeway to another building that features the film.  This building was in much better shape - full of movie memorabilia and showing clips of the films.  They did have a hurricane center which was kind of cool even though the wind seemed like it was blowing less than 50 mph.  The sounds were pretty awesome - electric lines snapping and the sound of rain.  We came back and sat by the pool for a bit before dinner.  Kelly texted us and we found a meeting place for Sunday night.  We will meet at a shopping mall and she will drive us to the restaurant.
