Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 70’s and a breeze.

A slow day in sales at the store but a large donation came in to deal with. I sorted stuff from the back to front that we could put out. In between I helped Joyce with changing the window from St. Pat’s day to Easter.

The morning started out cloudy with off and on snow showers before the sun came out. We are back to winter time with cold temperatures and blustery winds.

Went to the gym this morning. Donna is under the weather so no crafting at her house today. I am washing sheets this afternoon and working on some odds and ends projects.

Not a nice weather day. Pea soup fog and drizzle for most of the day. Temperatures made it into the low 50’s. Nasty weather is on the way tonight and tomorrow.

The day started out very slow at the store but picked up this afternoon. Several donations to process and we did make it over $100,00, Most of the customers were very adventuresome tourist in town for the day.

Sunny and 43 degrees when I left for Winston this morning.

I ran one errand before going to my 11 am haircut appointment then me Bonnie for lunch at a really good Mexican restaurant, La Botana.

From there it was back up the mountain. A beautiful day to be out and about. We have warmed up again in the low 70’s and calm winds.

A beautiful day with lots of sunshine, calm wings, and highs in the low 70’s’ A bit of spring tease because it will turn cold again.

After a very slow start to the day at the store the afternoon turned out to be very busy with customers. We went well over the $100.00 mark and had a couple of donations to come in as well.

I left yesterday morning for Winston. Arrived at Frances and Al’s around 9:30. After getting my stuff in the house we left for Lexington, NC just a short drive from their house. It was warm and sunny but very windy.

Spent a nice half day shopping and having a lunch then headed back to their house. After a short break we left again. We stopped at the JoAnn store to see what they had left in their going out of business sale where I picked up some craft supplies.

Then we went on to Firebirds for a really nice early birthday celebration for Frances then stopped at Michael’s to check to see what they had in the way of craft supplies on the way back home.

This morning I made a Costco run on the way out of town. Got home around 12:30. Started a load of laundry while I unloaded the car and put all the stuff away. It’s sunny but chilly here and thankfully the wind is not blowing.

Gusting winds and heavy rain started just after midnight. Had almost 2 inches and the winds kept me up most of the night. The sun came out this morning and temps rose into the mid 50’s. Clouds rolled in this afternoon and brought in some of and on rain showers. Temps are supposed to plummet down into the upper 20’s by morning which means more gusty winds.

A slow day at the store. Joyce and I changed the window and the front table for March. We had a few customers but a weak sales day. Had a couple of donations come in.

From work I went to Donna’s for dinner and played with the dogs.

Gusty winds last night and all day today up around 35 to 40 mph. Sunny skies today with highs in the low 50’s. The winds are bringing in a cold front tonight for tomorrow.

We had a good day at the store. Half price paperback day which brings in a lot of folks just for the sale. We also had several nice donations to process in between customers.
