Sunny and mild today with highs in the low 50’s and breezy.

We were busy all day at the store.  Locals as well as tourist and regulars who come in whenever they are in town. Broke the $300.00 ceiling. Thankfully, only had a few very nice small donations come in, since were busy selling books. Hardly managed to get a time out to eat some lunch.

Sunny, breezy, and warm today with highs in the low 70’s.

Went to the gym then stopped by the library to pick up some books. From there I drove over to Galax, VA to Wal-Mart to do some shopping. I picked up some more stuff for the pantry as well as some other odds and ends. We are donating toiletries to the local Food Bank for our Friends of the Library Christmas project this year. Yes, it’s a Food Pantry but they get requests for those non food items that people often forget are in need. I picked up some of that stuff as well as my gift for the Christmas party.

Came home, showered, fixed lunch, and then unloaded and put away all the stuff.

Warm, sunny, and breezy with highs in the upper 60’s.

A busy day for a Wednesday at the store. Quite a few out-of-town folks. We did just barely break the $100.00 ceiling. Had several local folks come in to not only buy to sit and chat. We are somewhat like the old country store everyone sits around and solves the problems of the world except we talk books and local gossip.

I drove over to Boone, NC this morning to get the car serviced at Modern. Made a quick stop at Lowe’s in Jefferson to look for something then back home. Otherwise, not much going on this afternoon.

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

We had a busy day at the store. Easily broke the $100.00 ceiling. A few first time folks but a lot of regulars who knew it was half price paperback sale day. We had a couple of donations.

I met Donna and a couple of her friends at North Flow Steakhouse after work. It’s just down from the main downtown area. Had a nice, enjoyable evening. Her friends left early but Donna and I sat outside on the bench and chatted for awhile.

I stopped by the library to return and pick up some books this morning on the way to the store.

Another slow day. We had a few customers off and on during the day. Mostly regulars but a few from out of town. We did not break the $100.00 ceiling for the day and have just barely broken it for the three days. But, things are slowing down for the season with not as many tourists in town during the week. Had one small donation to work on.
