Cloudy this morning but the sun came out this afternoon. We made it back up into the low 50’s with breezy conditions.

A moderately busy day at the bookstore. Broke the $50.00 ceiling with a couple of good sales. Again, several folks just in to browse around but did not find anything.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the low 60’s and breezy.

I went to the gym this morning. Then, a little after 11, I left for Winston to have lunch with my Firm friends at Willow Bistro. Nice lunch and good visit catching up on all their news.

It was warm and sunny down the mountain as well. After we ate I headed back up the mountain. It was a nice day for a drive. It was nice to see a lot of the trees and early bulbs in flower.

Sunny today with temperatures in the low 40’s and calmer winds. Windy last night and again this morning. The low this morning was in the upper 20’s with the 40 mph wind gusts.

We were busy off and on at the bookstore but sales were on the low side. Quite a few were just a dollar here or fifty cents there but we had a good day for a Wednesday. I worked on organizing donations between customers.

Sunny today but cold and windy. We are under another wind advisory through tomorrow morning. High today in the low 30’s with 20 to 25 mph winds and gusts over 50.

I went to the gym this morning. This afternoon went over to visit Donna and pups.

The washer is fixed. It was a sensor where the cold water goes into the machine. Thankfully, nothing major.

Cloudy today with off and on snow showers. Temperatures are in the low 40’s with blustery winds.

I had a dentist appointment this morning then stopped by the grocery store. Just picked up milk and salad greens.

Yesterday I washed the load of cloths then ran the load to towels. The load finished but had not spun. I tried rerunning just the spin cycle but the tub just slowly turned. This morning I went to take the towels out to put them in the laundry room sink until I could get a repair person over and found the water dripping in the tub.

I called Mr. McGrady who does appliance repair. He is coming over this afternoon.

I worked Friday at the bookstore until 2 pm then left for Winston. Spent the weekend celebrating Frances’ birthday. We ate at Texas Roadhouse for dinner Friday then back to the house for cake and ice cream. One of the across the street neighbors came over to join the festivities.

Saturday we walked around downtown Kernersville, a nearby bedroom community then back home. Another family came overĀ  from across the street with their children to have ice cream and cake and visit.

After they left we went to dinner at a barbecue place then back home.

Beautiful weather until early this morning. They had a mix of rain/freezing rain the cars and grass when we got up. I ate breakfast, packed up, and headed home. Up here it’s 28 with a winter weather advisory. No problems coming up the mountain. We have white stuff on the grass and may have sleet/freezing rain/snow showers all afternoon and tonight.

This afternoon doing the laundry and getting stuff unpacked and put away.

Warm and sunny today with highs in the upper 50’s and a light breeze.

Better day at the store today. We almost broke the $100.00 ceiling but a good day overall.

My plans for the weekend are up in the air. If I am not here for a couple of days I will be returning soon.

Mostly sunny and breezy today with temperatures in the low 50’s.

A very slow day at the bookstore. Part of the problem could be that the coffee shop two doors down was closed today. We get a lot of business from folks stopping there first for coffee and or lunch then come to our store and vice versa. Oh well.
