Mostly sunny and breezy today with highs in the upper 70’s and lowish humidity.

We  had a strange day at the store. A few customers this morning and through mid afternoon. Then late afternoon, about an hour before closing, we were slammed with customers until closing time. Not sure where everyone was during the day but they were not uptown. Most all the customers were from out of town for the weekend or the day. Talked to several people from Winston. We almost made 100.00 mostly in that one hour.

Warm and sunny today with highs in the mid to upper 70’s and not as breezy.

A moderately busy day at the store. Did not make the $100.00 goal but still a good day. We worked on a new table display for the upcoming Olympics and stocked shelves in between customers.

Donna invited myself and Debra over for dinner. I get food and a chance to play with the dogs.

Mostly sunny today and breezy with highs in the upper 60’s. We may make the low 70’s.

I went to the gym then came home and headed outside. A great day for working in the yard. I dug weeds and trimmed up the two bushes out by the road. Although we had around two tenths of an inch of rain yesterday evening I watered all the ground plants and the pots on the steps. The wind dries the ground out so fast they still need a good drink. I did a few other odds and ends before calling it a day.

Sunny and breezy with highs in the upper 70’s. We’ve had a nice spell of dry weather and comfortable temperatures.

Lots of events in town for the weekend bringing a lot of business to the store. The biggest event was the fiber festival at the fair grounds. Brings in a lot of vendors and folks teaching related skills. Attendees come to the town first and then go out or vice versa but either was we had a good couple of days. Almost broke $200.00 three days running.

Mostly sunny with temperatures in the low to mid 70’s and humid. We had a brief shower around midday. Maybe some showers or thunderstorms popping up this evening.

A good day at the store. Several big donations. A steady flow of customers off and on most of the day. We did make over $100.00.

A new “cakery”has opened next door to us. She makes lovely cakes, cupcakes, and assorted nice desserts. She is bringing a lot of traffic to our end of the block and to the bookstore. A lovely addition to our main street.

Cloudy with a few light rain showers this morning. Partly cloudy this afternoon with a chance for another off and on rain shower with temperatures in the low 70”s and breezy.

I went to the gym this morning. Bonnie arrived around noon to have lunch and walk around town. She is on the way to Laurel Springs, about thirty minutes west of here, for a week at dulcimer camp. She just left a few minutes ago.

This afternoon chores; changing and washing sheets and doing some first of the month bill paying.

Mostly sunny, breezy, and cool today. Temperatures in the upper 60’s with gusty winds at times.

Busy day at the store. It was half price paperbacks and Music on Main starting at five so we stayed open until 7:30. A long day but we made over $200.00. A couple of donations but mostly just helping customers and selling books. A lot of out of town folks plus a few regulars.

Low 60’s when I left for Winston this morning.

Of course, had to run a couple of errands before meeting the girls from the Firm for lunch. Then on to my Pam’s for a haircut then headed back up the mountain. It’s only in the low 70’s here but warmer down the mountain though it was cool enough down there to enjoy eating lunch outside.

Mostly sunny today with gusty winds. Low this morning in the 60’s but it has warmed up into the low 70’s.

A moderately busy day at the store. Almost made $100.00. Mostly out of town folks today. Worked on a small donation and filled some empty shelves with backlog copies.

We had a fairly fierce thunderstorm last evening with high winds, lots of lightening and thunder and almost two inches of rain in an hour. After it passed through we just had more rain the rest of the night and into this morning. Looks like it may be clearing up. Highs in the mid 70’s with blustery winds.

I went to the gym then back home. Not a good day to work outside so I will do a few projects indoors and have a relaxing day.
