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.

Sunny this morning but mostly cloudy this afternoon with highs in the mid 80’s. It did not rain here but there were some nasty looking clouds around the mountains. May get a shower or two tonight.

I went to the gym this morning. Pulled a few weeds and grass from the flower beds before coming in to clean up and fix some lunch. Then off to Donna’s this afternoon for crafting. We had four today.

Mostly sunny this morning then off and on storms and rain gully washers most of the afternoon. Did not get as much here at the house as we had in town. The temperature dropped ten degrees after the storms moved through.

The day at the store started off slow but the afternoon picked up considerable putting us over the $100.00 mark by the time we closed. Had a couple of small donations as well.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the mid 80’s. A couple of pop up rain showers this morning that lasted about 10 minutes. Had a brief storm last night but not much rain. May get some more storms later this evening.

A busy day at the store. Mostly steady all day. Sales almost to $100.00. Had a few customers who came in to browse but not buy anything which is fine.

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

Frances and Al arrived this morning around 10:30. After getting their stuff in the house we took off for Galax, VA. about 30 minutes from here. We stopped at a couple stores Frances wanted to check out then had lunch at Applees. Then walked over to Wal-Mart and making a stop at the new Ollie’s then heading home.

While we were in Galax we apparently had a storm here dropping over an inch and half of rain before heading on down the mountain.

Grilling out beef ribs and kielbasa for dinner.

Thunderstorms mid morning brought some heavy rain to the downtown area. Temperatures were in the low 80’s but cooled down this afternoon after the storms went through. I had almost an inch of rain here at the house.

We had a busy day at the store with several donations to work on. Sales under $100.00 but still good for the day. We changed out the window display and the front table books for the rest of the month in between working on donations and helping customers.

I came home and heated up some dinner then went back to town to the library for the quarterly meeting of the Library Board.

Some major thunderstorms rolled through yesterday afternoon and last night. Total rainfall around one and half inches. Today has been sunny and breezy with cooler temperatures in the low to mid 80’s.

A busy day at the store. Lots of folks in town for the holiday weekend. We were steady all day with customers and a few small donations to work on. Almost made $200.00 dollars.
