Sad Day
Today is a very sad day for me four years ago today my b/f died from cancer. So today I thought I would thank him for saving my life. He helped me get out of a very bad place in my life. If it was not for him I may have been died by now. But anyway he helped me trust and love again. He gave me a home and the life that I always wanted. What time we had together was very nice I did not know what love was until I met him. I just wish that he could see my life now he would be so happy for me. I moved out of PA and now live in Texas where I have always wanted to live. I have a great little baby girl Emily Sage she is my rock and my life. I really never knew I could love someone as much as I love her. I own all this to you because if I never met you I would not have any of this and I thank you so much. I want you to know that a day dose not go by when I do not think of you. I miss you so much I wish that you could have met Emily Sage. Well I miss you and I will see you someday. Love Lisa

Residents flock to Farwell for gas
Janice Green picked the right day to come to town.
Green and her family live 14 miles east of Farwell and limit their trips to the city. She was surprised when she noticed unleaded gas selling at Lowe’s for $3.69 a gallon — which was more than 30¢ below the national and area average.
“Gas prices keep you at home,” said Green from her vehicle as she waited in line for gas. “I do everything in one drive now.”
Lowe’s assistant manager Jolyne Ortiz said the store’s gas prices have decreased from $3.89 on Monday to $3.69 Wednesday.
Ortiz said gasoline prices are based on the purchase price from their distributor. Store manager Eric Chavez said keeping customers happy is also a consideration.
“We did it for our customers,” Chavez said. “To keep them satisfied.”
A nearby Allsup’s ran out of its $3.68 a gallon gas early Wednesday morning, according to employee Mary Davis.
The 40-cent drop from the $4.09 gas prices in Clovis was enough for Clovis resident Linda Armijo to make the short trip to Lowe’s in Farwell to fill up.
“I can’t believe the prices,” Armijo said as she pumped gas after a 15-minute wait in line. “They’re great. It’s completely worth it to drive out here for this.”
Oritz said Wednesday was hectic and some customers were angry they had to wait five to 25 minutes to purchase gas.
“But everyone was pretty excited that the gas is so cheap,” Ortiz said.
The national average for a gallon of unleaded gasoline Wednesday was $4.04, according to AAA.
