Partly cloudy today with temperatures in the upper 20’s and 40 mph wind gusts. We’ve had snow showers off and on.

After lunch we drove over to Independence, VA to Food City. They found several items they had not been able to find at their stores in Winston. I picked up the chicken breasts I like and some more thin pork chops.

Frances is making enchiladas for dinner.

We had a pretty good round of thunderstorms last night for a several hours bringing almost an inch of rain. Lots of big rumbles and bright lightening. Today is mostly sunny with off and on snow showers, temperatures in the low 30’s and winds gusts close to 40 mph.

A very slow day at the bookstore. We did make the $50.00 mark but all those sales were this afternoon.

Frances and Al are on their way up.

It’s currently cloudy and breezy with temperatures in the upper 40’s. We started the day at 61 degrees. Temperatures are steadily falling and the fog has rolled in. Chance of rain this afternoon and thunderstorms. Then we drop down into the upper 20’s by tonight with snow showers.

I went to the gym this morning then stopped at the library and the drug store.

Not much else going on today. Enjoying watching the birds at the feeders with my usual visitors of titmice, woodpeckers, finches, and an occasional  nut hatch.

Sunny and breezy today with temperatures in the upper 40’s.

An off and on busy day at the bookstore. We did break the $50.00 mark which is good for a winter day. I helped Joyce take down Christmas decorations and priced a few donations that came in the door.

Sunny and breezy today with temperatures in the low 40’s.

I drove over to Galax, VA this morning to Wal-Mart. Found most everything on my list. Hardly anyone in the store. A good time to go.

This afternoon need to change the sheets and do a few odds and ends.

Sunny and chilly today with highs in the low 40’s and breezy.

I went to the gym and the grocery store this morning to pick up the usual weekly items. They have been out of a couple of non-essentials so I may have to make a trip to Wal-Mart.

After lunch I left for Winston for my 2 pm appointment with my gastroenterology doctor for an annual checkup and renewal of my prescription. I was a little early so I made a quick stop in B&N to look for a couple of things.

Rain today with breezy conditions and temperatures hovering around or just above freezing. We are under a winter weather advisory for some frozen precipitation and a few flurries but nothing major.

I am spending the day doing laundry and putting things back out on tables and hanging back up pictures, etc. in the den, foyer bath, and dinning room. Armed with Windex, canned, air, dust cloths, and furniture polish I will try to get as much done today as I feel like it. Everything gets cleaned before it gets put back. I get my bedroom good another weekend. Kitchen as been done.

Sunny and breezy again today with temperatures in the low 40’s.

We had a very busy day at the bookstore breaking the $200.00 ceiling. Half price book sale and all Christmas books made it a good day. Pat priced books and I worked the sales desk.

Sunny today and breezy with temperatures in the mid 40’s.

A sorta slow day with customers and sales. Pat and I worked on processing and shelving donations all day. With tomorrow being half price paperback sale a lot of our regular customers will probably be in for that.

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

They delivered the fridge around 11:15 this morning. That gave me enough time to wipe it down inside and get everything back in the fridge section before I had to leave for Winston for my haircut appointment.

While I was waiting on the delivery I did some cleaning in the dining room and den.

This afternoon I will move the stuff that goes in this freezer from the garage one and them perhaps start working on getting things out of the closet and back where the belong in the dining room and den.
