Mostly cloudy this morning and early afternoon. The rain moved in late this afternoon with temperatures in the mid 40’s. Hopefully temperatures will stay above freezing tonight and tomorrow morning.

We had a slow sales day at the store but a busy day with lots of donations to price and put on the shelves.

Cloudy and chilly today with highs in the mid 30’s.

Bonnie arrived this morning around 9:30. From here I drove to West Jefferson where we spent the day. They have a nice downtown area with shops and restaurants. We did one side of then street, stopped for lunch at Sweet and Savory, then did the other side.

On the way back to the house we stopped in town here. We did a couple of stores she wanted to go in then we came home. She just left a few minutes ago to head for home.

Gym this morning then the grocery store. Picked up a few pantry items along with milk and lettuce.

This afternoon I changed the sheets. Otherwise, not much else going on.

Fog this morning with temperatures in the upper 30’s. They stayed there most of the day with clouds but no rain and the fog lifted mid-morning.

We were very busy at the bookstore with out of town customers in small and large groups steadily all day. Broke the $150.00 ceiling. Between waiting on customers Pat and I processed a large donation of books. Several boxes were beautifully bound classics. I was working on pricing them while I sat at the sales desk. I sold well over half of them while they were sitting there waiting to go on the shelves.

Another day of fog and drizzle.with temperatures in the low 40’s.

A slow day at the bookstore. We had a couple of good sales that helped the final total of the day but we barely broke the $50 mark. They did over $100 yesterday. Tomorrow may be better.

Partly cloudy and cool when I left for Winston this morning around 9:15.

I ran a couple of errands before meeting my Betsy and Nancy for lunch.

We had a nice time catching up on all our news. On the way out of the restaurant we ran into a library employee we all worked with who is still working there. It was so nice to see her and catch up on library things. I had not seen her since I left over 20 years ago and not only did she recognize me she remembered my name. Then she saw Betsy and Nancy and recognized them.

Back up the mountain. Temps are in the low 50’s and it’s foggy and drizzling.

Another wet day with temperatures in the upper 50’s.

The bookstore was slow. We did have a few customers but sales were pretty low. I helped Joyce work on decorating the store for Christmas, priced some books, and did a few other odds and ends.

Cloudy with drizzle and fog this morning when I left for Winston with temperatures were in the low 40’s.

It was the same weather in Winston. I ran a couple of errands, grabbed a bite of lunch, then on to my eye doctor appointment. Follow up to cataract surgeries. Did the exam for a new prescription and ordered my new glasses. Then back up the mountain.

Light drizzle all the way home until I started up the mountain where I hit rain and fog. Temperatures are hovering in the upper 40’s with light rain and fog here at the house.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 50’s. Clouds have rolled in this afternoon with rain forecast for tonight.

I went to the gym and grocery store this morning then back home. I ran the vacuum and dusted before I needed to get my shower and head to the library.

We had our Friends of the Library Christmas meeting and party at 1 with pot luck and gift exchange.
