Two inches of rain from last night until mid-morning. Temperatures were in the mid 50’s when I left for the store. After the torrential rains moved out we had snow showers and the temperature dropped to 38 degrees in an hour and half. Sun cam out this afternoon but now we have wind gusts in the 50 to 60 mph range and maybe higher. We are now at 34 but will drop down into the teens tonight with the wind chill in single digits or below.

So, with the cranky weather we had a slow day with customers. Joyce worked on getting out more Christmas stuff. I worked on a good size donation most of the day. We also did come cleanup in the back storage room as well.

We had some light rain over night. It was foggy with drizzle when I left for Winston this morning. Highs today in the upper 40’s and thankfully, calm winds.

I had my follow up echo at Baptist Hospital at 11. Only took about about 45 minutes. Guess I will hear back sometime this week how things are going.

I came home, fixed some lunch, then went over to Donna’s for afternoon crafting.

We had nice day yesterday. I worked on decorating the tree. Frances and Al spent the day relaxing watching Christmas movies. We went out to dinner at Muddy Creek then back home.

It was cold and windy yesterday but lots of sunshine. Today is a bit warmer with highs in the mid 30’s with a slight chance of a snow shower this afternoon. Lows back down in the upper 20’s tonight.

They left this morning around 9:30. I did the usual Sunday cleaning chores and first of the month billing stuff here at my desk. The house is all decorated and ready for Christmas. Lot’s of great leftovers to eat during the week.

We had a nice Thanksgiving Day. Frances and Al cooked Cornish hens, green beans, sweat potatoes, and apples.

This morning we went to get my Christmas tree. Went to the usual tree lot but there was not much to choose from so they took us over to their choose and cut lot. Prices the same as last year.

It’s cold and windy with highs today in the mid 30 and down into teens. I will spend the day decorating the tree. They are fixing pork tenderloins for dinner.

Sunny and warmer today with highs in the low 60’s and calm winds.

I was back at the gym this morning doing a full workout. I am doing the same hour long workout I was did in my rehab classes. Our machines are similar to the ones they had so it’s easy to duplicate.

After lunch I went to Donna’s for out usual afternoon crafting session.

Cold and windy. We had a dusting of snow yesterday and last night. Today was a high in the low 40’s but 30 to 40 mph winds plus higher gusts.

It was an off and on day at the store. We had a couple of nice donations and did make close to $200.00. Store was either empty or full of customers.

From there I went to Donna’s for dinner. Rigatoni with chicken and a side of asparagus and cherry pie for dessert. Yum.
