Vacation

We're on a road trip vacation in north central Ohio. The motel is full. There are many blue haireds here including us. It's a warmer growing zone and flowering bushes are in bloom. We sat out on the porch with friends and could enjoy the scent of hyacinths.

Even with gas prices at $3.45 to $3.59, we are out and about. Like most Americans we will limit our driving and take shorter trips for pleasure. Since we travel much for Bob's consulting work, we will make those into mini-vacations and take an extra day or so to enjoy the Midwest.

If you are like us, you use credit cards for many purchases. We rarely charge groceries but we do charge gas. Each month the amounts spent at the BP or the Shell or the Marathon take a bigger bite. It makes budgeting nearly impossible for that line item.
