Temperatures were in the upper 40’s when I left for Winston this morning around 7 am.

I had an 8:30 eye doctor appointment to check my left had that had a blocking floater that would not go away. Thankfully, that turned out not be anything serious. I go back in six weeks.

From there I ran an errand on the way to my 10 am hair cut appointment. Then ran several more errands eventually meeting up with Bonnie for lunch.

From there I headed back up the mountain. I arrived home just as James was finishing up the yard. Now, unload the car and put all the stuff away.

Sunny today with highs in the low 70’s. We started out in the low 60’s this morning.

An off and on busy day at the store. Between customers spent the day organizing and restocking shelves and doing general cleanup from the sale last Friday and Saturday. We did break the $100 ceiling which was good.

Mostly sunny and cool with temperatures in the mid 60’s and 10 to 15 mph wind gusts.

I had my six month dentist cleaning next Monday but they called me this morning with a cancellation and asked if I would like to come today at noon.

So , I went to the gym and grocery store this morning then back home to get cleaned up and head back into town for my appointment.

I go next month to the oral surgeon for my last follow up on my implant then back to the dentist to get fit for the crown.

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

Frances and Al spent the day strolling around the Heritage Festival while I worked at the store. Streets are blocked off with vendors and food trucks. We had a very busy day with the second day of half off everything. Easily broke the $500.00 ceiling. So, two good days for the fall sale for the store.

After I closed up the store we went to Mis Arados for dinner. We’ll spend the rest of the night relaxing. Been a busy couple of days.

Mostly sunny today with highs in the low 70’s We started out this morning in the upper 50’s.

We had a slow day in sales at the store but very busy. Between processing donations we are getting the store ready for our half price sale this weekend. So, getting as many books on the shelves from the over stock as we can. Two big donations came in back to back which brought in some good new stuff.

Another rainy, stormy day. We may not make it out of the 60’s. Just had a storm roll through with house shaking thunder.

House cleaning chores are finished. Laundry this afternoon but otherwise just taking it easy today.

A thunderstorm woke me up sometime early this morning but only produced a tenth of an inch of rain when I checked before I left for town. Today has been off and on thunderstorms with torrential rain. The sun would come out for a little while then another one would role in.

When I left this morning it was 74 degrees. We’ve dropped to 64 as another storm rolled in just as I was leaving the store. I have an inch of half here so far here and it’s still booming. We are under flood watch until 2 am tomorrow.

We had a good day with customers and sales easily breaking the $100.00 ceiling. I worked by myself. Fortunately we were never swamped at one time nor did I get swamped with donations.
