Monday 1/7/13

We had a busy day at the ReStore.  I began the day by labeling the bookshelves so hopefully people will sort the books as they come in.  We had quite a bit of merchandise come in to the store today.  As it comes in we clean it and get it out on the floor.  We also test it if it is an appliance.  We got a cute little roll-top desk in this morning and it was sold by 10:30!  It went for only $35 which is a real steal.  The prices are awesome.  We sold a home gym (like the ones you see advertised on TV) for $75 and a cherry dining room table with two leaves and six chairs for $125!  One man came up to me and said he was looking forward to sleeping in his own bed tonight.  I asked him if he had been traveling and the said he was a guest at the Sheriff's hotel.  It didn't dawn on me until later that he meant he just got out of jail!  (Boy, I can be really clueless sometimes!)  We stayed busy all morning and then went home for lunch.  The property manager came by to tell us that the home owners have a service contract on the oven and that the repairman would be out tomorrow afternoon.  I sat by the pool for awhile until the clouds came in.  We decided to go out to dinner tonight so we drove down to the beach.  We found a place called Seabreeze - the food was good.  Dave and I had hogfish, which doesn't sound appealing, but was quite delicious.  The waiter was very friendly and we sat next to two chatty women.  One of the ladies had her dog tied outside of the restaurant and we could see her through the full-length windows.  She fed the dog some french fries so Dave gave the dog a piece of his fish because he thought it might like some protein.  It is raining lightly now, but we hear that it will get up into the 80's tomorrow (if we can believe the weatherman!).
