Saturday 1/5/13

We woke up to overcast skies today, but it was warm.  We went to the nearby Wagon Wheel/Mustang Flea Markets.  They sold everything there - from junk to some pretty nice merchandise.  Dave bought a pair of flip-flop sandals as his last ones bit the dust last year.  There was some great looking produce for sale so we will keep that in mind for next weekend when our supply is low.  We came home and after lunch drove down to St. Petersburg to visit the Haslam's Book Store.  They have over 300,000 books for sale - new and used, but their prices were a bit out of whack - $1 for a used paperback?  I did find some nice birthday cards.  We then went down the street to visit the Florida Craftsmen Gallery.  They had some lovely things for sale, but the prices were astronomical!  The atmosphere was a bit hoity-toity also, so we just looked.  We stopped for gas - $3.07!  That is the cheapest we have seen.  It seems to range up to $3.34, but even that is cheaper than it is in Connecticut.  We had a few peaks of sun, but it is clouding up again - supposed to rain tomorrow.  I'm not sure what we will do tomorrow in the rain, but we will think of something.  We may postpone going to the aquarium or museums though as tomorrow is the last day of school vacation for the kids here so most places will be busy.
