Monday/Tuesday 1/21 and 1/22/13

What a wonderful day we had today.  We got up early and drove to Kelly's.  We then drove to Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom where Kelly and her friend, Kim, did an awesome job as tour guides to the park.  It was raining when we got there which was not good news for us, but was perfect for viewing the animals.  They were very active!  We saw a 3-D film on a Bug's Life which was actually 4-D as we were poked in the back by "bugs".  We then went on Safari in Africa which was a wonderful ride through many animal habitats.  We saw elephants, lions, rhinos, hippos, ostrich, zebras, giraffes, etc.  It was truly awesome!  We saw also saw mountain gorillas in another part of the Africa exhibit.  In Asia, we saw some lovely tigers - they were a bit less active, but beautiful none-the-less.  We stopped for a salad lunch and then continued on through other parts of the park.  We saw a show called Flights of Fancy which was fabulous.  We finished by watching the Lion King show - it was amazing and I was in awe of the dancers on stilts!  Dave and I stopped for "breakfast for dinner" at Perkins when we got near to our place.  No one had to rock us to sleep as we were both pleasantly tired from our day.  I will post some of the many photos I took of the animals at the park.

Today was another busy day at the ReStore.  We had some deliveries from yesterday that needed to be put out on the floor and we also had a lot of customers looking for different items.  I asked to learn the register today as we will be working again on Saturday and there is only one person on the register that day and he is busier than a one-armed paper hanger!  I took in a few sales including debit and credit charges so I think I will be okay on Saturday.  We also had a delivery of new, but discontinued items from a major hardware store - we will finish putting those out tomorrow.  We came home for lunch and then did a bit of housework and laundry.  It is a cloudy day and a bit cool.  The weatherman is predicting sun for the rest of the week so we hope to get out and walk somewhere tomorrow.
