Warm an sunny today with highs in the low 70’s but another blustery day. We’ve had a lot of windy days this year January and they keep coming.

A slow day with customers but one of our regulars came in and put us over the $100.00 mark for the day with his purchases. We worked on several donations that came in this morning plus some that were in the back.

A mostly sunny day with temperatures in the mid 70’s and almost calm winds. Some clouds have moved in so may get a quick shower later on.

I had a doctor appointment this morning with my PA for a follow up appointment then I went on to the gym. Came home and fixed lunch then on to Donna’s for crafting afternoon.

Thunderstorm early this morning woke me up with the winds howling and bright lightening. Not much in the way of rain which is OK after the early in the week deluge. Sunny and very windy today with highs in the low 70’s.

We had two busy days at the store yesterday and today making well over $100.00 both days. Lots of out of town folks for the day or the weekend enjoying a nice weather day in the mountains.

I had 4 inches of rain here at the house through yesterday evening. Today, more off and on showers with the sun coming out periodically. Temperatures in the low to mid 60’s.

It’s been a busy day at the house. This morning the AC guy came out to do the summer service on the unit and change the filters, etc. Later on in the day they finally showed up install my counters and faucets after a lot of ups and downs with the contractors hired to make the counters and do the install.

After they left I had to put everything  back together in the bathrooms after I wiping down the counters. It all looks good.

The rain started not long after midnight and it has rained off and on all day heavy at times. We are up to well over 2 inches with more to fall tonight and tomorrow. Temperatures staying in the low 60’s and back down into the 50’s at night.

I went to the gym then back home to eat some lunch before heading over to Donna’s for our crafting afternoon.  I had a couple of errands to run in town after the gym but it was pouring rain so will put those off for another day.

Sunny but chilly start to the morning with lows down into the mid 40’s. We warmed up a bit into the mid 60’s by the afternoon. Skies were partly cloudy off and on during the afternoon but no rain in the forecast.

A good day at the store with mostly folks in town visiting for the weekend. We did make over $100.00. Going out for dinner at the Mexican restaurant.

An off and on day with customers at the store. We make over $100.00 with several big dollar sales to help things along. And, we had several small donations to work on in between plus organizing  and straightening up after the weekend sales event.

It’s been  busy couple of days. Yesterday was the first day of our entire store half price sale. We did well over $500.

Today was the second day and while we not as busy we still did over $400.00. Tonight was also Music on Main but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. We had off and on showers early in the day. The forecast for tonight was not looking good so all the events were moved indoors at various locations. That hurts up an down street crowds but we still stayed open until 7:30.

We also had the fried apple pie festival today until 4 pm which also brought a lot of folks in town both yesterday and today.

Behind this wet weather is a cold front dropping temperatures for tonight back down into the upper 50’s.

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.
