Mostly sunny, breezy, and warm today with highs in the low 80’s.

A slow day at the store. I sorted and priced books from the back and organized boxes in the storage area. We had a few sales but way below $100.00.

Sunny and breezy today with highs in the low 80’s.

Gym early this morning so I could get home and showered before Bonnie arrived. We chatted awhile and then went to JB’s for lunch then back home before she had to leave to drive on out to her dulcimer camp at Laurel Ridge.

After she left around 3 I went on over to Donna’s to craft and visit with them. I went in for a quick visit with the dogs then came on home.

A lovely day with highs in the low 80’s, lots of sunshine, and a nice breeze.

It has been a busy couple of days at the store. Over $100.00 Thursday, over $200.00 yesterday, and $300.00 plus t.day. We’ve had the fiber festival in town for two days. This afternoon and tonight was Music on Main so we stayed open until 7:30. A great weekend for the town.

A busy day at the store especially this morning through lunch. Lot of out of visitors and people up for the weekend in their mountain houses. We did do over $100.00 which is good for middle of the week.

Sunny, warm, and breezy today with highs in the upper 70’s.

Yesterday was an okay day with sales even though we did not make $100.00. Today it was slow this morning with a couple of small donations then things picked up this afternoon. Sales did make it over $100.00. But we ended the month a high note.

Sunny, breezy, and warm today with highs in the upper 70’s. I had another 2 inches of rain overnight bringing the last few days total to around 5 inches. Still in drought in conditions but less severe. May get a scattered storm tonight.

Not a very busy day with customers but a very busy work day. Joyce and I spent a good part of the day clearing up a lot of the donation stuff in the back room. It is looking a little better though there are still a lot of boxes left to process.

More light rain over night and this morning giving us another half inch. The sun has come out this afternoon making it warm and humid with highs in the low 70’s.

I went to the gym this morning. Not crafting this afternoon. Donna is taking care of one of her dogs that had pups a few days ago. I changed and washed the sheets and did a few other household things instead.

We had two inches of rain over night. Today has been cool with more rain off and on most of the day with highs in the low 60’s.

A great two days at the store. Between yesterday and today we make over $600.00 dollars. Lots of folks in town for weekend.

Tonight we went back to The Cellar to celebrate their three year anniversary of being open. They had a great band and some light food. A wonderful addition to Sparta.

Warm, sunny, and breezy today with highs in the low to mid 80’s. Looks like some clouds are forming over the mountains so perhaps we will getting some much needed rain tonight.

Slow at the store this morning but things picked up this afternoon. We did not make $100.00 but we did have a decent day in sales. Mostly out of town folks up for the day.
