Day Trip to Vero Beach & Shopping for the house

Last Saturday when we were at HHGregg, we saw Muttlee Crew Pet Care in the same shopping center and decided to have Tinker groomed there. We called and made him an appointment for yesterday. They did a great job grooming him and charged us $45 which is about the average we pay. They are having a mobile vet clinic on Saturday and I'm going to take Tinker in to get his rabies shot which is due this month.

We left Kissimmee this morning a little before 9:00. Since we were going to be gone all day, we took Tinker with us. We stopped in St. Cloud at a 7-Eleven to get gas in the car and paid $3.459 a gallon. Gas prices in the area have been rising and this was the cheapest gas around today.

We met our friends Christine and Carol at JP Matty's in Sebastian for lunch and had a good visit. They both use the same electrician and are going to e-mail us his contact information.

After lunch we drove over to the title company in Sebastian that will be handling our closing and got the information we needed so we can have the funds for the closing costs wired to their bank.

We drove by the house and saw that the owners had a rental truck there and were loading items into it. We didn't stop and continued on down to the south end of Vero Beach.

We had seen a dining room set at the Kaleidoscope Consignment shop when we here last month and were hoping that it was still there.
It was and the price had been reduced! So we bought it. Normally the consignment shops only hold the items for a week, but we spoke with the owners and explained our situation and they are going to hold the set until the first of March. They offer delivery service at $50 an hour starting from when they leave the shop and ending when they return to the shop. We'll think about that.

We walked around the shop and saw several pieces of furniture that we liked. Mike took photos of the pieces and I wrote down the prices and measurements. Hopefully those items will still be there after we have our closing.

We stopped by HHGregg in West Melbourne to see if Sebastian is in their delivery area. We ended up speaking with Carolyn and bought a few items for the house and they are holding them for us until we call to have the items delivered.

We got back to Kissimmee a little before 7:00 and stopped at Publix and bought chicken fingers to have for supper back at the RV.

We had a long day and a fun day of visiting with friends and shopping for the house.
