Temperatures were down into the low 50’s this morning with breezy conditions but should warm up into the upper 60’s by this afternoon.

Frances and Al left around noon. I started the laundry while we were sitting around this morning. This afternoon I have some things to do at my desk and a few other assorted household chores.

Frances and Al arrived this morning around 9:30.

After getting their stuff settled we left for Mt. Airy. We walked around downtown Mt. Airy for a couple of hours then drove to Chili’s for lunch. After lunch we went to a couple other stores before heading back up the mountain.

Temperatures down the mountain were in the low 80’s. It was cloudy this morning with a couple of light showers then the sun came out.

It’s sunny here and in the low 70’s with breezy conditions.

Later on we will head out of find some dinner.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the upper 70’s and just a slight breeze.

We had two good days at the store. Yesterday was fairly busy and today was very busy especially in the morning. We almost did $100 yesterday and did go over that amount today. Lots of visitors in town for the weekend.

My friendĀ  Bonnie had been at a painting class over in Jefferson. She stopped by the store on the way home for a short visit.

Temperatures were in the upper 30’s when I left for Winston early this morning. Sunny and warmer down the mountain; in the mid 60’s.

I had several errands to run before my 11:30 haircut. No lunch with the girls today. They had to cancel last minute for a work meeting. So, after my haircut I just headed back up the mountain.

This afternoon I took care of some little projects I wanted to get done.

Windy yesterday and all day today. Gusts last night in the 50 mph range. Today it’s calmed down into the 15 to 20 mph range. Sunny and a bit warmer with the highs today in the upper 40’s to low 50’s.

A slow day at the store. A few customers off and on and no big donations. But, we had an okay day in sales and organized some shelves.

Warm, sunny, and breezy today with highs in the low 70’s. Another spring teaser since a cold front is coming in tonight.

I went to the gym, home for lunch, then to Donna’s for our crafting afternoon. We had a great time. I stayed for awhile after we finished to go in and play with the dogs.

The day started out with clouds and drizzle but the sun came out late this afternoon. It was 35 degrees this morning when I left for the store. Highs in the upper 30’s to low 40’s with brisk winds.

A busy day at the store with both donations and customers. We make it over the $100.00 mark. We had two young folks in this morning doing volunteer hours for school that Pat and I worked with on processing the donations.

Sunny but chilly today. We started off this morning in the low 30’s but warmed up into the low 50’s but breezy.

An okay day at the store with off and on customers. I processed a couple of donations and organized shelves in between sales.
