Mostly sunny and cool all with highs in the upper 60’s and breezy.

An off and on day with customers at the store. We make over $100.00 with several big dollar sales to help things along. And, we had several small donations to work on in between plus organizingĀ  and straightening up after the weekend sales event.

It’s beenĀ  busy couple of days. Yesterday was the first day of our entire store half price sale. We did well over $500.

Today was the second day and while we not as busy we still did over $400.00. Tonight was also Music on Main but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. We had off and on showers early in the day. The forecast for tonight was not looking good so all the events were moved indoors at various locations. That hurts up an down street crowds but we still stayed open until 7:30.

We also had the fried apple pie festival today until 4 pm which also brought a lot of folks in town both yesterday and today.

Behind this wet weather is a cold front dropping temperatures for tonight back down into the upper 50’s.

I left for Winston this morning to meet Nancy and Betsy for lunch at Village Tavern on Reynolda Road. It’s on the northwest side of the county where we used to live so I did not have to drive all the way into the city.

Hot down there. Mid 80’s and humid by the time I left. I made a stop in Elkin at the Lowe’s on the way home to pick up a couple of things then headed on back up the mountain.

It sunny and warm here in the mid 70’s and getting cloudy. May get a storm later on this afternoon.

Frances and Al arrived this morning around 9:30.

After getting their stuff settled we left for Mt. Airy. We walked around downtown Mt. Airy for a couple of hours then drove to Chili’s for lunch. After lunch we went to a couple other stores before heading back up the mountain.

Temperatures down the mountain were in the low 80’s. It was cloudy this morning with a couple of light showers then the sun came out.

It’s sunny here and in the low 70’s with breezy conditions.

Later on we will head out of find some dinner.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the upper 70’s and just a slight breeze.

We had two good days at the store. Yesterday was fairly busy and today was very busy especially in the morning. We almost did $100 yesterday and did go over that amount today. Lots of visitors in town for the weekend.

My friendĀ  Bonnie had been at a painting class over in Jefferson. She stopped by the store on the way home for a short visit.
