Cloudy with rain showers all day until about half an hour ago when the sun finally came out. Highs only in the low 70’s but humid. Yesterday’s afternoon storm brought close to an inch and a half of rain. Today I’ve had almost another inch and a half.

An off and on busy day with customers. We almost made $100.00. Joyce and I had several projects to work on doing some rearranging in the back room. I also processed some more boxes from the big donation that came in sometime back.

Mostly sunny today and mild with temperatures in the low 70’s.

Frances and Al arrived around 10 am this morning. They brought their stuff in then we drove over to West Jefferson. We shopped up and down their historic district stopping at midday for lunch at Boonedocks.

On the way back home we stopped by Donna’s for a visit. Not sure what we will be doing for dinner tonight.

Another cloudy, drizzly day with temperatures in the low 60’s.

An off and on busy day. While not a lot of sales or customers the ones who did come in spent a nice sum of money taking us over a $100.00 by the end of the day. Several donations came in to work on as well.

Mostly cloudy and cool today with highs in the upper 60’s.

I went to the gym early, came home and showered, then left for Winston for my doctor appointment. Finished up down there around 1 then headed back up the mountain.

Made a brief stop at home then went to Donna’s for crafting. She invited me to stay for dinner. Had a good time playing with all the dogs and a nice visit as well.

Clouds, drizzle, and cool temperatures all day with highs only in the mid 60’s. The mist and drizzle finally stopped early evening.

All long day since it was the last Music on Main and it was half price paperbacks in the store. We were busy most all of the day with a little lull between 3:30 and 4:45 before the crowds started coming back in to town for the evening. We stayed open until 7:30. Almost made $200.00 for the day.

Warm and humid today with highs in the mid 80’s and lots of sunshine. May or may not get a thunderstorm this evening.

An off and on busy day at the store. Only made a little over $50.00. Had a couple of big donations come in to sort and several folks in just to look around.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the low 80’s.

Went to the gym this morning. This afternoon our group that meets on Friday nights were invited out to lunch at one of their houses. Donna and Linda came here and I drove. She had a total of 12 of us for cheese and crackers, a light lunch, and dessert. We had a lovely time sitting outside on her deck.

Mostly sunny, warm, and humid today with highs in the low 80’s.

A busy weekend at the store. Between yesterday and today did well over $300.00. Yesterday had several donations as well as a steady flow of customers. No donations today but again customers most of the day,

I made quick stop at home then picked up Donna. We drove over to Galax, VA to eat dinner at the Creek Bottom Brewery where we had eaten lunch a couple of weeks ago. Hit some major downpours along the way and a storm over there but no rain here.

A nice day with lots of sunshine and highs barely making it into the 80’s.

It was busy at the store this morning then just a couple of customers this afternoon but we still just made it over $100.00. I had some donations to work on and straightened up some of the shelves from yesterday.
