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.

Frances and Al arrived this morning around 9:30.

After getting their stuff settled we left for Mt. Airy. We walked around downtown Mt. Airy for a couple of hours then drove to Chili’s for lunch. After lunch we went to a couple other stores before heading back up the mountain.

Temperatures down the mountain were in the low 80’s. It was cloudy this morning with a couple of light showers then the sun came out.

It’s sunny here and in the low 70’s with breezy conditions.

Later on we will head out of find some dinner.
