Sunny, cool, and breezy today with highs in the upper 50’s.

A slow day at the store. Worked on a few donations, etc. but not much in the way of customers or sales.

Sunny, cool, and breezy today with highs in the low 60’s. Blustery winds yesterday and last night. Had some rain along with the 50 to 60 mph gusts.

Gym this morning. The heating and air folks came by at noon to do the fall check and change the filters. Then I fixed some lunch and headed over to Donna’s for crafting. We had five today. All of working on different stuff.

A beautiful sunny breezy day in Sparta with highs in the low 70’s.

Frances and Al arrived around 10 this morning. We then headed out to Wythville, VA about forty minutes from here. After doing the downtown shops we stopped for lunch at a local dinner then did a little more shopping.

Then heading back home we stopped in Independence, VA at Food City first. Now we have to decide what to do about dinner.

A slow day at the store in sales and customers. Had a few small donations come in to work on. Did some shelf organizing and other odds and ends as well.

A nice day with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 70’s.

Went to the gym this morning then headed down the mountain to have lunch with Nancy and Betsy in Clemmons. We were supposed to meet at 11:30 but Nancy had a last minute thing to take care of in the morning so we did not meet until 1:15. Had a nice lunch and visit then back up the mountain but too late for me to make crafting this afternoon.

I will go over another afternoon this week to work on a couple of projects I want to get done.

A slow day with customers and sales but a busy day for Joyce and me. I processed three different donations and helped Joyce change the window. I cleared off the front table so we could change it to go with the window which is Halloween. While I finished up shelving books she put out more decorations in the store.
