Cloudy and cool today with highs in the low to mid 70’s. Off and on rain showers with an occasional sunshine this afternoon. Good, steady rain downtown. I’ve only had about half an inch here but whatever the amount it is needed. Grass is still brown in places but greening up a bit with the off and on rain showers the last couple of days.

A busy day at the store. The Fiddler’s Convention was at the fairgrounds so we had a lot of folks in town for that. Almost made $200.00.

Warm today with highs in the mid 80’s but a nice day with low humidity and a breeze.

A good day at the store. We did not make $100.00 but still had a good day.

I have been asked to serve on our local library board. Tonight was the first meeting so I left the store to go straight to the library for my meeting. Being a new board member myself and another new member met with the chair of the board and the librarian at 4 pm to get us up to speed before the actual meeting which started at 5:30.

Being a retired librarian it will fun to serve on the “other side” as I do as a member of the Friends of the Library.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the mid 80’s but breezy and low humidity.

Went to the gym this morning then drove over to Galax, VA to run some errands at Lowe’s and Wal-Mart. Monday is a good day to hit both those places as they are usually not very busy. Found what I needed at Lowe’s and Wal-Mart plus stocked up on a few pantry items I was getting low on.

Changed the sheets and did a few other odds and ends in the house this afternoon.

Mostly sunny and warm today with highs in the upper 80’s but breezy and relatively low humidity.

Two busy days at the store making almost $200 yesterday and today. Lot’s of folks from out of town for family events or to escape the heat down the mountain. Several small to medium donations came in to work on between customers.

Warm and sunny today with highs in the low 80’s and very breezy.

A busy day at the store. A lot of folks up here to beat the heat down the mountain. Had several nice conversations with folks from Winston and surrounding areas. We did make over $100.00. July is starting out as a great month for the store.

Warm, sunny, and breezy today with highs in the mid 80’s and a bit humid.

Busy, busy day yesterday and today at the store. Close to $300.00 both days. Today was the 4th of July parade followed by Music on Main. We always stay open late for that. So, lots of folks in town for the holiday weekend.

Sunny and warm today with highs in the upper 80’s, a little higher humidity, and the usual 10 mph breeze.

A busy day at the store. Almost all out of town folks in town to escape the heat down the mountain or visiting relatives, etc. Fireworks in town tonight and other assorted activities tomorrow and Saturday. Most of the stores on Main street were open bringing a good amount of foot traffic up our way. We did make over $100.00 so a good day for us as well.
