Sunny and chilly today with highs in the mid 40’s and breezy.

I had to fill in at the bookstore today. We were not busy with sales but had a busy working day moving around some bookshelves and getting more things organized.

The art gallery across the hall from us closed down at the end of last month. They gave us several books cases and a revolving rack. We replaced some very old and ratty looking things that have been in the store forever with the newer looking stuff.

Also, one of the owners who in not very good physical health came in this morning to get the last of some of his things so Joyce and I helped him get some stuff into his truck.

Over 4 inches of rain yesterday and another half inch overnight into this morning. The sun finally came out around midday. Temperatures climbed into the mid 50’s with calm winds.

A busy day at the store. We had a brief lull around midday to give us time to eat some lunch. Mostly out of town folks in town visiting relatives and spending the day in town shopping, lunch, etc. We easily broke the $100.00 ceiling. In between customers we did some more store organizing.

Merry Christmas to all the readers who stop by to visit.

I appreciate everyone of you. A special thanks to the folks behind the scenes who help me out with the page.

I hope you all have a great holiday and a safe and healthy 2024.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the mid 50’s and calm winds.

A moderate day at the store. We almost broke the $100.00 ceiling. Mostly locals and regulars but a few first timers wondering the street. A small donation came in to work on. Joyce had to leave early for a meeting so I held down the fort until closing.

We had a light dusting of snow over night along with wind gust in the 50 mph range. Cold and sunny today with highs in the upper 20’s and 15 to 20 mph gusts. Wind chill is down into the teens.

I went to the gym. Stopped by the library to pick up and return some books. Made a quick grocery store stop to pick up the weekly items; lettuce and milk along with another small carton of eggs Frances will need for the weekend cooking.

Odds and end chores this afternoon

Sunny and cool today with highs in the mid upper 40’s and calm winds. Rain and wind moving in tonight for tomorrow.

We had a very busy day at the store. We would have waves of customers almost filling the store then have a break and another wave; so on an so forth all day. We easily broke the $100.00 ceiling. Had a lady come in about ten minutes before we close. Pat needed to leave but I told the customer to take her time shopping I was not in a hurry. She ended up spending quite a lot of money so well worth staying past closing time. Good customer service.
