It was too good to be true! We actually saw gas prices drop to $1.50 a gallon in this area. Of the cost for each gallon of gas,we pay at least $ .70 in tax in this area, so that’s an amazingly low price per gallon. Unfortunately, that’s ended. The range of prices we saw yesterday were $1.57 to $1.69. Dear Husband has stopped at four gass stations with low prices which did not have regular gas. They could sell him the high test for twenty cents a gallon more, but the holding tank for the regular gas was dry.
I’m sure that the suppliers are waiting to see if their cost of gas drops again. My understanding is that they have to order in large quantities, so they’ve been waiting to see if they could get a lower price. And by now, the refineries are probably on a slow down because the demand for gas has dropped this winter.
Cop Car will be happy to see the price go up! *G* As for me, I plan to stay home and keep warm!

I was chatting with my youngest sister this week about the fact that I am blogging less. I took a look at the archives and you can see that my blogging dropped significantly after June when EM had her seizure. My sis says it’s not that I have run out of things to say, it’s more a problem of being able to fit the blogging in with my current obligations. She’s right.
There are times when I am driving, and I’ll see something along the road, or hear something on the radio, and find myself mentally composing a blog entry. I love the sentences that come with that first attempt, but the problems is that when I finally get the chance to sit down and put them on the computer, I’ve forgotten what I wanted to write about. So, memory is playing a part here, too.
There are no rules to follow. Nothing says that I have to make a specific number of entries a month. or a week, but, I know how hard it is to follow a blog that tends to lie fallow. That any of you come to read is a miracle.
I know that the demands on my time will change eventually. I may even become more organized and make blogging a regularly scheduled activity. Until then, I appreciate that you come to read.
If I don’t make it to your blog in the next couple of days, Dear Husband, Elegante Mother and I all wish you health and good fortune in the coming year, and a Merry Christmas!
