Tuesday/Wednesday 1/15 and 1/16

We had a busy day at the store yesterday.  When we left we stopped for lunch and then took a lovely walk on the grounds of the Florida Botanical Gardens.  They had lots of lovely flowers, trees, plants, herbs, water features.  One of the photos of trees is of a thousand fingers banana tree and the other is a tree covered with Spanish moss.  We walked around a good part of the area and had a nice time.  We then went to the movies to see Django Unchained.  It was a good movie: about slavery with a love angle, lots of blood and a major comedy in places - very unusual.  I usually don't like the blood stuff, but there was so much in such large quantities that it looked fake!




This morning was the busiest day ever at the ReStore.  There was a ton of stuff waiting for us when we came in this morning.  We spent the first hours just putting it out!  Dave brought out an old wooden tool chest, about a hundred years old, filled with tools from the 20's to 40's.  A woman saw it and bought it immediately for $140!  She also bought a number of other items and gave us her number in case anything else old came in.  We had about 50 "grass" shades come in, brand new, and one person bought them about an hour after I put them on the shelves.  I sold quite a bit of furniture today, but we also had a lot of people dropping things off for donation.  Busy, busy busy!  We came home to have lunch and then I did some laundry before coming out to the pool area.  It is supposed to get cooler tomorrow - mid 70's instead of mid 80's.  I know, I'll bet you are all feeling sorry for us.  I promised some of the ladies that I would show up for Bingo again tonight so will get away from the pool and go make some dinner.
