    Julieb, the weather was a big reason for the drop in the electric bill.. It was quite a bit warmer, and so we were not using the small space heater hardly at all... I have also been going around behind the kids turning off the lights, opening the blinds in all the common rooms, and keeping the doors open to keep the house cooler... I like the feel of fresh air, even if it is still a little cool... I plan on changing all of the likght bulbs to the new low energy ones soon. The porch lights already have them. I am just happy that what ever I have been doing has been working. Thanks for all the encouragements....
