Instead of being snowed in I am iced in. Freezing stuff started falling early yesterday morning. It was supposed to be some snow with freezing rain and sleet bur so far all we have had is freezing stuff. About half an inch to an inch with more to come this afternoon.

So I have been in since Monday. I have everything I need and no where I have to be so all is well. Hopefully things will warm up by tomorrow and start melting this mess.

Sunny today and warm with highs in the low 50’s.

We had a good day at the store. Steady all day and did over $100.00. Had several donations come in to work on as well.

I went to Donna’s after work for dinner. She made eggplant parm with a side of baked pasta. Yum. Got to play with the dogs for awhile, too.

Cloudy, foggy, and cool when I left for Winston again this morning. We had a few rumbles of thunder early this morning.

This time I had a hair cut appointment and lunch with my Firm friends at Cin Cin Burger Bar. Good food and a nice visit with them.

In between the two appointments I stopped at Home Depot to pick up more bird seed. It was cloudy and cool down there until midday when the sun cam out and it warmed up into the 60’s.

Back home it looked like we had some rain and the sun was out but nothing measurable in the gauge. It’s warm here as well; low 60’s.

Cloudy and cool, low 40’s when I left for Winston this morning/

The sun was shinning down the mountain but when we left the restaurant skies had clouded over and remained that way all the way back home. Not sure how warm it got it here but it’s only in the upper 40’s right now.

I met Betsy and Nancy for lunch at River Birch which is on “this side of Winston” which meant I did not have to go all the way into town. It’s actually about ten minutes from where we used to live. Had a nice lunch and visit then headed back home.

A nice day with highs in the low 50’s and sunny but breezy. We had a little of half an inch of rain from last night into this morning. Washed away most of the snow that was still lying around except for the big piles here and there.

Half price paperback sale today but we sold more hardbacks than paperbacks. Lots of steady traffic all day and made over $300.00. After a slow January this is a great start to February.

Going out to dinner with Donna to the Mexican restaurant.

Sunny and warmer today with highs in the low 50’s, except, the 30 to 50 mph wind gusts which started last night.

A slow day at the store but we had two big sales that put us over $100.00 which was nice. We have taken a temporary break in working on the big donations  because the store shelves are full right now. I helped Joyce work on a couple of displays for the store for February.
