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.

Mostly sunny, hazy, and warm today with highs in the upper 70’s.

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,

A few showers early this morning then cleared up for a nice sunny afternoon and evening. Highs in the upper 70’s.

A busy two days at the store. Fiber Fest was in town for Friday and Saturday which brings lots of people in town for the weekend. Plus tonight was Music on Main so we stayed open until 7:30. Grand total for both days was very close to $600.00.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the mid 70’s. Very smoky from a low that is bringing smoke from the wildfires out west.

A slow day with customers at the store. I worked on donations all day, straightened shelves, and did some other organizing.

After several days of dreary, rainy, chilly days the sun finally came out this afternoon and we warmed up into the upper 60’s to low 70’s. A little over an inch and a half all told.

A slow day at the store with customers. Joyce was tied up in a meeting for most of the day so I held down the fort while working on donations and organizing shelves.

A chilly couple of days with lows going down into the low 50’s and highs only in the mid 60’s with some gusty winds. Sunny most of today although a few high clouds have rolled in this afternoon.

The store had  wonderful day yesterday and a booming day today. Almost $200.00 yesterday and well over $300.00 today. We had customers all day today except for a couple of short intervals to catch our breath. Lots of folks in town for the holiday weekend.

Temperatures in the low 60’s this morning when I left for Winston. It was nice down the mountain with temps in the upper 70’s and sunny. It nice here but another blustery day with lots of sunshine and temps in the low 70’s.

After my haircut  I ran an errand then met my friends from the Firm for lunch then back up the mountain. A nice day to be on the road with not a lot of traffic going down and coming back up.
