Warm today with highs in the upper 50’s, lots of sunshine and calm winds.

I went to the gym this morning, stopped by the library to drop off some books, and made a grocery store run. I picked up juice, milk, and salad stuff along with a few other odds and ends.

This afternoon changing out the sheets and doing a few other minor household chores.

Mostly sunny today with highs in the upper 40’s and calm winds.

Volunteer day at the bookstore. Moderately busy this morning but not this afternoon. We did okay in sales for those who did buy.

Chilly start to the morning but lots of sunshine and temperatures in the low 50’s again today with calm winds.

I drove over to Galax, VA to Wal-Mart to see what I could find in the way of food staples not available at my local Food Lion. BTW, we only have one chain grocery store in town. We have a nice meat market just up the road.

I did find several items I was looking for specifically. Other stuff I bought was “buy it while I could find it” including some non food items. And, for the amount of stuff I bought, the final total was not bad.

I am reading The Orphan’s Guilt by Archer Mayor.

A chilly start to the day but it has warmed up into the low 50’s with lots of sunshine and breezy.

I went to the gym this morning. This afternoon I took advantage of the nice weather to wash the car. It is supposed to be dry the rest of the week.

Sunny today but cold. Low this morning in the upper 20’s. Still breezy but it’s warmed up into the the mid 30’s this afternoon.

I did some house cleaning chores this morning. This afternoon I am watching Bletchley Circle: San Francisco on the local PBS station and wrapping Christmas presents. Bob and I had watched the original Bletchley Circle. I did not know they did a spin off until I happen to see on the TV lineup for this afternoon.

Foggy this morning. The storm that that wrecked havoc in nearby Tennessee and Kentucky and some other states is just about here but in the form of mostly heavy rain with gusty winds. We are under a high wind advisory for this afternoon and tonight.

Not much else going on. I did some laundry and a few other odds and ends.

Yesterday I volunteered at the bookstore until 2 pm then left for Winston. I stopped by Frances and Al’s to drop off my overnight gear and hung around until time to go to Filing Station uptown to have dinner with Nancy and Betsy

Back to Frances and Al’s for the night. This morning I left their house to run a couple of errands then met my friends from the law firm for lunch at Willow’s Bistro. From there it was back up the mountain for home.

I do miss Colin terribly but I do have more freedom to get out of the house for some overnight trips.

Sunny today but chilly with highs in the upper 30’s and calm winds.

Went to the grocery store this morning. Lots of empty shelves especially in the pasta and frozen foo aisles. I only needed a few things for the week.

Otherwise a quiet day.

Mostly cloudy and warm today. Temperatures in the mid 50’s and calm winds. We are forecast to get some rain later this afternoon and evening.

I went to the gym this morning.

We our Christmas Friends of the Library meeting at 1 pm. Everyone brought something to share to eat and a gift to exchange. We had 17 people which was a good crowd for us that included several new volunteers at the bookstore and our wonderful high school volunteer.
