Gas Prices

The fluctuation of gas prices is aggravating!  It seems they always go up right before a holiday and then drops back down (trickle-down) after the holiday.  The Labor Day weekend is when it jumped up "over night" the last time to $2.45/gal.  That seems like price gouging to me!  Today I paid $2.28 for it at Walmart's Murphy USA in High Point.

I got 10 more tiki lights for the fire pit area.  Plus I got 3 lanterns, more oil, tons of citronella "bracelets" and spices for cooking at the fire pit.  I also got hot dogs and hamburger today!  I'm going to try and find some pots and pans at the thrift.

Mark and I rode the bike to Mallard Ridge tonight.  The weather is still reaching the 90's here in NC.  I am soooooo ready for some fall weather!  I sure pray it doesn't go from summer to winter over night!  I love the fall season!

Lovely clouds on the drive to Mallard Ridge tonight!

If you have been following my blog for several years, you know I used to collect Christian fiction books at the thrifts.  I put them all in the craft shed.  But, I haven't read any of them since before Tim died.  So, I decided to take them to our church's "ladies'" library so someone could benefit from them, at least!  I kept the Bible study books but I may eventually put those over there, too.  So, tomorrow I'm going to begin rearranging things in the craft shed.  I REALLY want to begin spending time out there working on projects during the day!  I'm itching to get my fingers dirty with paint!  :D

Thank You, LORD, for a good day!
