Mostly cloudy and cool today with highs in the upper 60’s.

I went to the gym early, came home and showered, then left for Winston for my doctor appointment. Finished up down there around 1 then headed back up the mountain.

Made a brief stop at home then went to Donna’s for crafting. She invited me to stay for dinner. Had a good time playing with all the dogs and a nice visit as well.

Clouds, drizzle, and cool temperatures all day with highs only in the mid 60’s. The mist and drizzle finally stopped early evening.

All long day since it was the last Music on Main and it was half price paperbacks in the store. We were busy most all of the day with a little lull between 3:30 and 4:45 before the crowds started coming back in to town for the evening. We stayed open until 7:30. Almost made $200.00 for the day.

Warm and humid today with highs in the mid 80’s and lots of sunshine. May or may not get a thunderstorm this evening.

An off and on busy day at the store. Only made a little over $50.00. Had a couple of big donations come in to sort and several folks in just to look around.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the low 80’s.

Went to the gym this morning. This afternoon our group that meets on Friday nights were invited out to lunch at one of their houses. Donna and Linda came here and I drove. She had a total of 12 of us for cheese and crackers, a light lunch, and dessert. We had a lovely time sitting outside on her deck.

Mostly sunny, warm, and humid today with highs in the low 80’s.

A busy weekend at the store. Between yesterday and today did well over $300.00. Yesterday had several donations as well as a steady flow of customers. No donations today but again customers most of the day,

I made quick stop at home then picked up Donna. We drove over to Galax, VA to eat dinner at the Creek Bottom Brewery where we had eaten lunch a couple of weeks ago. Hit some major downpours along the way and a storm over there but no rain here.

A nice day with lots of sunshine and highs barely making it into the 80’s.

It was busy at the store this morning then just a couple of customers this afternoon but we still just made it over $100.00. I had some donations to work on and straightened up some of the shelves from yesterday.

Sunny this morning but mostly cloudy this afternoon with highs in the mid 80’s. It did not rain here but there were some nasty looking clouds around the mountains. May get a shower or two tonight.

I went to the gym this morning. Pulled a few weeds and grass from the flower beds before coming in to clean up and fix some lunch. Then off to Donna’s this afternoon for crafting. We had four today.

Mostly sunny this morning then off and on storms and rain gully washers most of the afternoon. Did not get as much here at the house as we had in town. The temperature dropped ten degrees after the storms moved through.

The day at the store started off slow but the afternoon picked up considerable putting us over the $100.00 mark by the time we closed. Had a couple of small donations as well.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the mid 80’s. A couple of pop up rain showers this morning that lasted about 10 minutes. Had a brief storm last night but not much rain. May get some more storms later this evening.

A busy day at the store. Mostly steady all day. Sales almost to $100.00. Had a few customers who came in to browse but not buy anything which is fine.
