Mostly sunny this  morning and warm. Highs today in the mid 80’s. Clouds moved in this afternoon bringing the temperature down with a couple of brief off and on showers.

Gym this morning then home for lunch and off to Donna’s for our crafting afternoon. Went inside to play with the dogs for a few minutes before I left to come back home.

After a couple of warm days into the low 90’s we are back to low 80’s again. Some storms around the county this afternoon but so far have missed me and the downtown area.

We had two really good days at the store with mostly out of town folks escaping the heat down the mountain. We did over $100.00 yesterday and over $200.00 today. A good end to the month for sales.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 90’s and a bit of a breeze. Much cooler than down the mountain for sure.

A busy day at the store. We had a couple of donations come in and did well over $100.00 in sales. Pretty steady all day except for lunch time and late in the afternoon before closing.

Warm and sunny today with highs in the upper 80’s

I went to the gym this morning then came home and watered all the plants and did some weeding. This afternoon I went to Donna’s to craft until around 3:30.

I came home then she came over to pick me up. We went to Elkin for her dentist appointment then went to Jersey Mike’s then shopped at Dollar Tree and Ollie’s then came home.

We had a great day at the store yesterday making over $100.00. Another good day today. Very busy this morning with customers and two big donations to work on. After a brief lull in the middle of the day things picked up again until closing. We did well over 300.00 today so a good weekend all around.

Mostly sunny and warm with highs in the low 80’s. We had a couple of strong thunderstorms last night with about an inch of rain.

A funny day at the store. Not busy all day with only about $15 dollars in sales until around 3:00, Then one of our regular customers came in to look at a new donation we had just received. He bought over $100.00 worth then another young lady came in about 3:45 and bought a big stack of books putting us right at the $200.00 mark for the day. So, several happy customers and volunteers to end the day.

A rather busy day at the store for a Wednesday. We did over $100.00. In between customers I worked on several donations stacked up in the back room. It’s a never ending flood of books coming in to keep up with.

Mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 70’s. We had a brief thunderstorm last night and may bet another one this evening.

Went to the gym early then back home to shower and wait for Bonnie to arrive. We went into town to eat at JB’s Pizza then browsed the stores and came back home. We visited for a little while longer before she headed on over to Laurel  Ridge for a week at dulcimer camp.

No crafting today. Donna had some vet appointments this afternoon for doggie stuff so we had not planned to meet today anyway,
