Sunny and mild today with temperatures in the upper 50’s and calm winds.

Just hanging around the house today. Frances and Al are preparing some of the food for tomorrow. I just do the cleanup part and watch television.

They are fixing ham and turkey grilled wraps , sweet potato fries, and chips for dinner.

Frances and Al arrived late yesterday afternoon just before I got home from the store. After everything was unloaded we went to The Pines for dinner.

Today they will be doing cooking stuff for Monday. I am going into town this afternoon to run a few errands. We are having Kirkland brand lasagna for dinner.

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

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

Rain and fog all day yesterday but ended up with a little over half an inch. Today is sunny and cold with temperatures in the low 30’s and 60 mph wind gusts through early evening. The high wind warming is in effect until early evening they we are under an advisory overnight to tomorrow.

I went to the gym then back home. Changed the sheets and threw the upstairs shower curtains in with them to wash. This afternoon a few things to do in the kitchen and here at my desk.

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.

Sunny and cool today with highs in the upper 40’s but calm winds.

An off and on day at the store. One donation and a good day in sales though we did not break the $100.00 ceiling.

Donna picked me up at the store. We went to dinner at Brown’s Restaurant then we drove back to The Cellar to have some wine and dessert.

Chilly and sunny today with temperatures in the mid 40’s but breezy.

A moderate day in sales at the store but we did not break the $100.00. Mostly locals today and not much traffic on the sidewalk at that. I had three donations come in to process which kept me busy most of the day.

We had a little over 2 inches of rain yesterday until early evening when it turned into snow showers. This morning we had a nice dusting of snow on the ground and trees. Temperatures are in the low 30’s but we had 15 mph gusts bringing the wind chill down into the teens.

I went to the bank and the gym this morning then came home. This afternoon Donna came over for a few hours for a nice visit.

A fairly steady rain falling this morning when I left for town. The sun came out midday for a few hours then it clouded up and the fog rolled in. Temperatures hovering in the low 50’s with some gusty winds.

A slow start to the morning at the store. The afternoon was steadier but we did not quite break the $100.00 ceiling and no donations came in to work on. Had a few out of town visitors and some locals in the mix.
