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.

A cool start to the morning with temperatures in the low upper 50’s. Sunny and warm all day with highs in the upper 60’s and breezy.

I went to the gym then ran a couple of errands. Lunch and then over to Donna’s for our usual afternoon crafting session. Just myself, Donna, and Wendy today.

Temperatures were down into the low 50’s this morning with breezy conditions but should warm up into the upper 60’s by this afternoon.

Frances and Al left around noon. I started the laundry while we were sitting around this morning. This afternoon I have some things to do at my desk and a few other assorted household chores.

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.

Temperatures were in the upper 30’s when I left for Winston early this morning. Sunny and warmer down the mountain; in the mid 60’s.

I had several errands to run before my 11:30 haircut. No lunch with the girls today. They had to cancel last minute for a work meeting. So, after my haircut I just headed back up the mountain.

This afternoon I took care of some little projects I wanted to get done.

Windy yesterday and all day today. Gusts last night in the 50 mph range. Today it’s calmed down into the 15 to 20 mph range. Sunny and a bit warmer with the highs today in the upper 40’s to low 50’s.

A slow day at the store. A few customers off and on and no big donations. But, we had an okay day in sales and organized some shelves.

Warm, sunny, and breezy today with highs in the low 70’s. Another spring teaser since a cold front is coming in tonight.

I went to the gym, home for lunch, then to Donna’s for our crafting afternoon. We had a great time. I stayed for awhile after we finished to go in and play with the dogs.
