A sunny, breezy, day with highs in the low 50’s.

Most of our customers today were from out of town visiting for the weekend or the day. We made well over $200.00. A steady flow of folks between 11:00 and 2:00 then a few stragglers late in the afternoon. A good day all around.

A nasty weather day. Blowing rain and drizzle with highs in the low 40’s. Hopefully all this will be out of here by tomorrow.

So, a very slow day at the store with the crappy weather. We had a few sales here and there. Otherwise, I worked on pricing books from the back room and organizing shelves.

Chilly and damp with steady rain all day. Highs in the low 40’s.

I went to the gym then back home. After lunch went to Donna’s for crafting afternoon. Just had three of us today. I worked on a couple of small projects.

Mostly sunny and chilly today with highs in the low 50’s and not as windy.

A good day at the store. We started off slow but things picked up this afternoon. We did go over $200.00 and had a couple of nice donations come in as well.

Sunny, cool, and breezy today with highs in the low 60’s. Blustery winds yesterday and last night. Had some rain along with the 50 to 60 mph gusts.

Gym this morning. The heating and air folks came by at noon to do the fall check and change the filters. Then I fixed some lunch and headed over to Donna’s for crafting. We had five today. All of working on different stuff.

A beautiful sunny breezy day in Sparta with highs in the low 70’s.

Frances and Al arrived around 10 this morning. We then headed out to Wythville, VA about forty minutes from here. After doing the downtown shops we stopped for lunch at a local dinner then did a little more shopping.

Then heading back home we stopped in Independence, VA at Food City first. Now we have to decide what to do about dinner.

A nice day with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 70’s.

Went to the gym this morning then headed down the mountain to have lunch with Nancy and Betsy in Clemmons. We were supposed to meet at 11:30 but Nancy had a last minute thing to take care of in the morning so we did not meet until 1:15. Had a nice lunch and visit then back up the mountain but too late for me to make crafting this afternoon.

I will go over another afternoon this week to work on a couple of projects I want to get done.

Sunny and breezy today with highs in the upper 60’s. Started out the day in the mid 40’s.

A busy two days at the store with lots of out of town folks up for leaf peeping and other activities. We did well over $100.00 yesterday and over $200.00 today.
