bowling....

Something that I like is Bowling....

I know they have bowling all the time and I think it is very much fun to bowl....I've went bowling a couple of years ago and I enjoyed it....Sometimes they are very heavy to lift and roll!...haha...It makes me giggle anyway....

There need to be a few more bowling alleys to take all of your friends to...It's just something to go and have very much fun with them bowling a few times....

i like to knock all the bowling pins down everytime!....haha! sometimes i miss them and i will keep trying and get them all knocked down.....

Bowling shoes are ok...but i always want them to be clean and not be stinky!....icky! I think that sometimes they need to be replaced more often at the bowling alleys because they sometimes look torn and worn....terribly deteriorated....just not very sanitary at all....

you can keep the tally of your game and be competitive with your friends...who wins/who loses, it doesn't matter! just laugh and have a lot of fun competing...

you can go there and bowl a few times in a day and then go back to your home....

anyways,
decorating for the 4th of July this week...just to be patriotic...a few inexpensive decorations that cost a few dollars...that's what i have been working toward this week..

National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum......

Sometimes, I like to watch a local show called " Discover Oklahoma" .. .they were on recently and were advertising for the " National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum" in Oklahoma City...

I haven't stopped by there in a really long time...I liked it when I went there before...

I looked at their website and I like all of their galleries and how all together it is...Looks very nice.

Things from our history like that should always be preserved.....there are also many Native American tribe museums here as well to keep their history and their stories alive...I would like to visit some of those as well..they can paint beautiful..

artifacts that have been well preserved and neatly displayed are so interesting when looking at them through a display case/glass....

the " National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum " keeps all of our cowboy culture and history alive today....they have many things to take part in there....

One thing that I like is how they have all different kinds of Art there...some of my favorite paintings are those cowboy paintings with the cloudy sky and then a scene underneath of cowboys or anything western...

the colors in those paintings are also a favorite as well....I read a book once with all that cowboy art on the pages and then a story behind the creation of the painting and about the painter of the pictures...I couldn't stop reading it.....some of the artists were just plain old cowboys themselves who could paint beautiful pictures like that...

I suppose you're moreso able to paint like that when you sleep underneath a beautiful sky and see it everyday.....my sky is beautiful but wow! I can't paint like them....

I like all of our cowboy/western history and the antiques/artifacts...and the stories behind them...

it's always a good thing to visit our museums and learn about history....I look at the artifacts and I think:" This was there when that happened."

fortune cookies.....

I like to read about all different cultures and I have recently been reading a lot about China and the history of the country...

The people of China are very intellectual and innovative and constantly creating new ideas and inventions for everyone...

I have met several Chinese people and they always are very gracious and kind...they like to tell jokes and make me laugh....I like that !....haha...

they like farming and agriculture and I also like that as well....

fortune cookies are something of their culture that I really like...I never tell my fortune!

I like to read the fortune of the cookie when I have cookies...

China is very interesting and the people of China are very nice and gracious I'm sure just like the people I have met in the past years from China.....

happiness ?....

Sometimes it seems impossible to be happy when things go wrong or you have things that are ruined, torn apart, or you get depressed...

everyone goes through sad times...it's just life....Horrible things happen sometimes to people and I know that it causes a lot of mental issues....that makes me sad for them....

Depression is something that pretty much everyone suffers from time to time...for some people it stays and some people it is just occasionally.... 

you know, people will say "This happened to me, or that happened to me"...and I just get very sad and cannot believe the things that people are able to live through...very strong!.....I know that it causes all kinds of mental issues....I mean, who wouldn't have problems after living through things like that!

it just goes to show you, that you can find inner strength in your heart and your mind to get through tough/sad times....

and you have to work at being happy..believe me, I have to work at being happy about 99% of the time.....I just make myself laugh to get through all the things that make me upset....I just kind of create happiness by being kind and laughing all the time....that's why I like funny things and funny people...they help you to get through sad things or bad feelings.....they make life easier to get through...haha...

happiness isn't just given to you...you have to work on your mind to be happy....trying to think happier things daily or laugh every day works for me.....

people always say:" Well, she doesn't care about a thing!".....I do care about things...just not the fake/stupid things they want me to care about!....haha! I suppose it's because I try to laugh so much to stay happy and just not care about material things, money, or being greedy......you can always have the best of the best and more and more....BUT it won't make you happy.....or solve all your issues...

I like to make fun of myself all the time and laugh at the silly things I do and whenever people have made fun of me to my face..i just say:"Yeah I know..isn't that funny how I am!"....and I just go on...because I don't care what they say/think about me....blah..blah..blah..who cares?..i don't...

some people seem to always want to destroy happiness or make fun of you when you are peaceful and happy....I've never wanted to think that I am better than someone else...I know that I am not snobby....unlike so many people I have unfortunately had to meet in my life....

I believe that all the bad/sad things you have had to happen in your life only make you stronger, and those bad/sad things can/will take away your happiness....and then you have to work on being happy to get it back.....which is something I constantly work toward.....

I may look happy at times..but it's just because I am working on it all the time constantly...I will smile, laugh, and joke with people but it's just me trying to achieve happiness everyday...

I attempt to smile/laugh at least once a day...

swimming.....

Swimming this past weekend and today...It feels amazing to swim a few hours in my pool!

My body doesn't ache and hurt at all and somehow the water makes my stupid hips feel more relaxed....swimming/water good for arthritis and other aches....for some reason I sleep very well after swimming a few hours during the day.....swimming makes me sleepier more than any other exercise.....

I like swimming and being in the water....feels very nice....relaxing..

Purchased a few packages of Mrs.Wages pickle mix to prepare more pickles with....haha!....making pickles like crazy!...soooooo many cucumbers....lol....picked some more beets today...but I just use a plain recipe for pickling those....oh pickles!...haha

had issues with the drain pipes underneath the kitchen sink today...called a plumber...he was a different plumber than the last time and he actually did great work on it...had to have new pipe fittings under the sink...the others were really old....

Purchased a newspaper today from a local smalltown...I like to use the papers to set underneath my cat litter box and when I see someone snobby on the pages that I do not like...I always make sure that I place that page with their picture right front and center where my cats sometimes accidentally bathroom!.....haha!...oh, I'm awful!....but I laugh everytime!

I'm recycling!

fishing......

Had to shock and brush the pool yesterday because of all the heavy rain...It must always be done with these pools at least once a week...

I opened the package and I walked a circle of the pool pouring the contents of the shock all at the sides...I was out of the pool because the shock can get in your eyes, mouth, and all over you causing you to be sick or cause problems with your eyes or breathing if you ingest it...so always be careful ya know?

i pressed the on button after plugging in the equipment into the electrical outlet and started circulating and cleaning the water...Bye bye bugs!...haha! they all started croaking and floated on the water and the filter got them...i let it run a few hours and it pulled all the excess dirt and other bugs into the filter and it was cleaner...

going to swim today!

yesterday i also was looking at fishing tackle because i want to go fishing at the lake....i like looking at all the bait,lures, and bobbers, hooks, weights, line, and all the fishing gear.

One thing that i like looking at is all the colored gel /plastic baits that are available...so many colors and types...

i just fish for a hobby/sport---i just throw them back into the water when i have one take a bite on the line....i don't eat them when i fish..so i always take a pair of gloves with me so i won't get finned and hurt my hands...a pair of needle nose pliers is also something i like to take along whenever i go fishing, so i can remove the hook from the mouth of the fish and throw him back out there....

look out for turtles and snakes!...i like turtles, but i always worry they will get on the line and that can cause a lot of problems....

water snakes are poisonous and i am scared of them biting me!

i fish at the lake's edge, and i would need to get my state fishing license to fish at the lake...i think i did that years ago but it expired?....need a new one!

it's just nice, and peaceful to spend the day fishing....

frozen treats and desserts in summer.....

I see that the snow cone stands are now open and that always means that summer is here.

One thing that I really enjoy in the summer is something icy, cooling, and fruity flavored..

I always stop by and purchase a snow cone, or I purchase frozen fruity treats in the grocery stores...Fruit bars, chocolate pudding bars, and the regular icy fruit flavored treat are some of my favorites along with snow cones....

icy treats sometimes have sugar free....for people with diabetic issues....so everyone can enjoy something icy/fruity in summer...

I have also purchased Flavor-ice brand treats.....you just place those in the freezer and they freeze in a day or so...very affordable as well.

as for the snow cones stands, I always want to be sure that I know they are very clean and sanitary when I stop by and purchase a snow cone......

I don't have a favorite snow cone flavor....I like them all...every year I try a few different flavored snow cones....

everybody knows that I like to get a slush from Sonic I like the fresh fruit slushes...Strawberry or LemonBerry are my 2 favorites in slushes...PowerAde slush is also a favorite...

also something I enjoy in the summer is ice cream from Braums ice cream store.

My favorites are---

a favorite carton of ice cream
a cone of regular ice cream
frozen yogurt waffle cone
or a regular caramel sundae

I also like to purchase a few grocery items there because they are so very local and direct to the store....

those are my favorites for summer icy treats and desserts.

appreciate kindness.....

Went to Atwoods (store) to find a few items I needed for my beet pickling episode #5324272 billion...haha!...it will take me a while to get all this beet pickling done and it is a lot of work....but it will be completed, trust me!...

Whenever I go into a store I always want to be kind and courteous to all people and today I held the door open for a man who had a cart full of things and they were in the way, so he couldn't see the door.I stood there and was nice and held the door open for him..he said thank you.

it's a nice thing to be kind like that at all times..and I want them to know when they are nice to me that I appreciate everything anyone ever does nice for me....whether it be something like holding a door open for me too, or saying hello, saying thank you, or just being nice when they are a clerk at a store, or nice to me anywhere...I always want to tell them thanks, and I appreciate your kindness!

appreciating all the good kind things people bring to this world is the right thing to do.....when you show appreciation for dedication and tough work, it means a lot to the people working an occupation....

everyone needs to know they are appreciated for the good things that they bring to the world...no matter how small or ginormous!...haha...

so I just always take time to say thanks or thank you...or hold doors open for people...lol.

belittling, ruining and annoying.....

Something that I really dislike is when others try to belittle people, ruin things for them, make fun of them...tell them that they are better than them...It really makes me very angry!

My whole life pretty much, I have had to go through this with people from my hometown or hillbillies in my family harassing me, and ruining things in my life....

whenever people are determined to achieve a goal in their life and have other outer influences trying to constantly ruin this or that for them....belittling/making fun, and prying into their life all the time, it really is annoying...and that is something that you do not ever try to do to me!....I get very angry....and I always win.

nobody deserves to be constantly criticized, irritated, and told things will be ruined for them....once again I get angry about those types of people like have unfortunately had to know or be kin to...those types of people are the losers....I hate hillbillies....haha!

I have had so many things before I have tried to achieve in life with occupations and just other amazing goals and they have found out my business and said to my face:" I will ruin this or that for you!" and they go about tearing down everything you love, you work toward, and everything you wish and hope to achieve in life...

it made me sad and upset at the beginning....but you know me, I got madder and madder and I kept on going with my plans despite threats and them ruining things for me.....they try to make you fall and then laugh, and it never happened with this girl! they couldn't catch me....

when things like this have happened in my life it has made me a much tougher/stronger person....you have to constantly keep fighting back to survive....it made me meaner toward those who have tried to ruin my life and hurt me....

in life when you have these idiots like this constantly making fun of you or trying to harm you...you never forget it and it is a reminder to always be strong and brave for yourself...

when you get way too many hillbillies together you start to get problems in your life and when they have money the mischief always starts!....haha!

you just have to find a way to be smarter than them....out think them..and know that you are better than them...anybody who constantly makes fun of someone or ruins things for them---they're the ones with the problems.....

a lot of these people who treat others this way are very disturbed and have serious issues....and need their butts kicked to the curb!

you just have to learn how to keep on going with your life and NEVER let anyone break your spirit...even when very bad things happen to you, you can get through it with help or just by believing in yourself enough to say I deserve better than being treated this way..

when they knock you to the ground, get mad, just get back up fight them, and keep on going to survive.

pickling and canning.....

Been very rainy, so I have went to the garden and found more potatoes to dig and wash yesterday...I also found more yellow squash, cucumbers, and beets...so my garden is doing fairly well...

Yesterday I pickled the cucumbers when i found a recipe to make pickles....I have been canning and pickling and I have more of that to complete this week with making the pickled beets...

 I purchased the ingredients for pickling and I started to work on turning the cucumbers into pickles...they will have to set a while and pickle....you can make sweet and regular pickles...I made both....

I really like pickled beets and I have plenty of beets to work with! that's my next project.

I have purchased canning supplies at the store last year and I still have them...I washed and dried them, then I begin the process of canning and pickling....

it takes a while and you always have to wash everything you use to can and pickle and your vegetables need to always be washed ya know?...haha!..nobody likes dirt in them!

there are spices that are needed to make the right pickling process work and they only work when in the recipe...some of those stink by themselves!....lol...I had to purchase those in the small containers at the grocery store.

the good thing about this canning and pickling is that you can have these things unopened for quite a while and it will not be spoiled when unopened....

sealing the canning jars is something that I always make sure I properly complete...because if it is not sealed right it will be contaminated and spoiled....icky!

I'm really having fun this summer working in the garden and collecting vegetables I have grown, weeded and watered....

randomness on a sunday morning....

Still haven't been able to swim in my pool yet!....now it is raining a lot...so that means I will have to treat my pool with the shock treatment before I can swim...I also have many little water bugs...they swim so fast and I try to catch them with the net and they go way underwater!...annoying!....kinda cute little bugs, but they will have to be gone before I can swim....

my cat Tigger (oldest cat) is better now..I called the veterinarian and they recommended a solution to help his constipation....he has something called megacolon and it is a condition old cats get...so he will be ok....I just want to take good care of him, he's been apart of my life for 17yrs.... 

I purchased a few more stickers to add to my sticker collection.

I found:

panda bears
dogs
fishing
sunglasses
daisies
planes/trains/trucks/ships--together
dolphins/sea life
sun/sand/surf

I keep all my stickers sealed and in a plastic container....it's just something I like to collect..nerd I know!...haha!

going to take my Grandma some yellow squash today...I have to check on it everyday in the garden it grows very fast with all the rain recently....

also found a few beets that were ready to be gathered...saving them to make pickled beets.

it's sunday so I will also read in my Bible today...

j.

don't be snobby...everybody is equal.....

Stopped to get gas today at the gas station and went in the store to pay...

sometimes I can't understand what some people are saying and I know that I am always kind and understanding when I can't hear them, or they may speak a different language...

I have witnessed some other shoppers in stores of all kinds be very angry, disrespectful, mean, vulgar to these people!....it upsets me people are so mean like that!

nobody is better than somebody else and I have said this over and over....It doesn't matter what color your skin is, or if you are very wealthy, very poor, what language you speak, or whatever you look like...everybody is equal...and I know that it is always a right and good thing to be respectful to all people...

so whenever I am in a store or wherever, I know that I should always be kind and have patience with everyone and when I have a problem understanding them for whatever reason, I always know that I take the time to be kind and understand them properly....

not understanding people can cause a lot of confusion, troubles, and upsets...there is no reason for this to go on when we all take the time to listen and understand everyone properly...

Even if someone has to draw me a picture so I will understand what they are saying--it'll work! haha....I'm a very smart girl, but hey, a picture will work if you wish to draw one!...

when there is confusion in any situation it can cause fights, ruin good things, hurt feelings and that does not need to go on...

sometimes I think about rude snobby people and I want to say to them:" Get down out of the saddle off that snobby high horse snobs!..you're not better than everybody else!."...good grief these people..*eyeroll*

everyone, no matter what color your skin is or who you are----all should know that we're all just people living on this crazy planet trying to understand one another and we should all respect each other and know we are all equal..nobody is better than someone else...

saw wheat harvest today in the field...a lot of dust! allergy time....

dragonflys....

Haven't been swimming yet!...really wish the pool was filled totally with water...hot day today....the pool is slooooowly filling with water...haha

Something I have been having trouble with is all the bugs that fly into my pool and I had to purchase a skimming net to keep taking all the bugs from the pool water...

One thing I will tell you is that it is NOT ok for stinging wasps, crunchy black water bugs--icky! or bees to fly into my pool---not good!

If Dragonflys want to stop by my pool and land on the water that is ok...they aren't harmful, don't sting and are very beautiful.

I haven't seen many Dragonflys lately and I think they are so pretty and I did see one the other day and he was blue-greenish and black and I thought how pretty he is!

I have a few hair pins from a few years ago that were those rhinestone dragonflys I liked to place those in my hair and it looked like they had landed in my hair and they were pretty and sparkled in the lights and sun...I like those.

my cat Tigger (the oldest cat) is having problems pooping again!....I hope I don't have to take him to the doctor again...last time a few years ago he had the same problem...he needed medicines...he's very old and I worry about him...

the weather is getting hotter and I always think about when we had an oscillating fan drive at my church...it gets very hot outside and people without air conditioning suffer...people in poverty also suffer through the summer in the heat....

It's always a good thing to be able to cool your home in the summer days!...donating those oscillating fans to those people in need is always a good thing to work toward in summer....

summer farming....

The pool is filling up FINALLY !!!

Can't wait to swim and float on my floatie...swimming is something I really enjoy.

Picked some yellow squash from the garden today...I'm going to cook that tomorrow sometime I think.....I made a potato salad out of some of the red potatoes from the garden...looking forward to some tomatoes...so see, gardening is productive...and way cheaper than a store!

had to take my Grandma to the grocery store this morning and I was out of bread and I found a brand of bread I had never seen before and it was called Frontier I read on the back of the packaging and it says it is from the Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas wheat belt...the company is in Texas I think....I really liked that! It supports local wheat farmers...my family has always farmed crops.

Local farmers should all be appreciated everywhere.

so I purchased 2 bags of bread--one was rye and the other was multi-grain...I liked them both.

2 molasses tubs today for the cows....those things are so heavy they use a forklift to lift them at the feed store...try scooting them off the back of the truck onto the ground in the pasture....heavy!

they are cutting and baling hay out in the hay pastures everywhere lately...looks like my family is going to have to bale hay soon!.....so many things break down sometimes with farming equipment but you know what? baling hay can be one of the most peaceful things to work on with a radio and an open field..

I still like to watch them bale hay at night..i went with my grandpa one time one night and he let me go while he drove all around the hay field one night...I liked that....he tried to show me how to bale with the equipment and I did pretty good!..you just have to have the lights on at night while driving and if one goes out you got problems!...haha!

j.

pool assembly day 4.....

It doesn't actually seem like Saturday today...weird...

went to town this morning early on an expedition to find a pool repair kit incase the one with the pool didn't work...and I found one for $5 so I purchased 2 for extra if I needed another one.

I returned home and started to work patching up the leak in the seam of the pool it was a manufacturing flaw in the seam and I got into the pool in my swim clothes and set there looking, searching and repairing....

I started to make a how to video on youtube while I repaired the pool because I am so good at this pool patching!.....Haha! gotta love those guys on pool repair videos!....

I started laughing just thinking about myself setting there working away repairing this mess and I could just see myself making a repair video!....lol...

all I can say is I hope it works!.....it isn't leaking right now.....

can't fill the pool with water til tomorrow.

randomness----

I purchased some more stickers to collect this morning also they were just .97/a set....on sale! yay!

The ones I got today are:

Horses
Jungle animals
Donuts...lol.
Fall leaves
at the Farm
Lady bugs and daisies
sparkle music notes
musical instruments
America
Sea creatures
Owls
Penguins/Polar Bears and snowflakes

sticker collecting is just something I like as a hobby.

I just noticed today that my beach towel is ombre color...lighter to darker then colors blending in..very pretty! all greens and blues, teal...I like ombre coloring on some things...it looks neat.

hopefully I can restart filling the pool with water tomorrow....

j.

pool assembly day 3....

Woke early this morning when the sun was just rising and I started assembling that darn pool!

it has so many parts to place and find and not destroy when you get mad it doesn't work the way you think it should the first go round!....haha...

I finally completed assembling it 2 hours later and it was 9:30am...so I placed the water hose in the pool and let it start filling up with water on low not to stir the water up....so it has been running since this morning on very low...about a foot of water in there now....whew! takes all day and lots of work...

after that I went to town and purchased a few things I was out of in the house and I found the chlorine tabs---3 and I also found the shock treatment--2, to sanitize the  pool weekly with the pool pump going to clean the water...always be sure to clean your pool and sanitize! gotta be clean....

I purchased a larger beach towel to wrap myself up in after I leave the pool for the day and to dry off with..i got a teal, sea green, blue towel that said sand, sun, beach or something like that...anyhow whatever that towel says it was pretty!

a new pair of $5 flip flops just to walk to the pool and keep my feet clean before getting in there...haha!

and then I found American flag pool shorts and t-shirt to shield my skin from the sun...and SUNSCREEN...scared of skin cancer!

and I laugh at myself because I had to have an inflatable pool floatie chair!...it's clear with some colors on it....I wanted the sea turtle floatie but ya know he was probably too big for the pool....lol.

Tired---I think I may have a small leak in one side of it...and I will have to repair that tomorrow...that's how it is with these kind of pools they placed a repair patch in the pool box...so here goes more troubles...oh well...haha...laugh it off right?

j.

pool assembly day 2.......

More sand scooping and hauling today in the truck bed.

tired.

think that I scooped tons more sand today than yesterday.....Have the ground level enough and filled in lower areas there....took several hours to get this all completed....

tomorrow morning I will be ready to assemble the pool parts and get it ready to fill with water...will take a few days I'm sure, so I will not stir the water up or use too much water in one day....takes lots of water!

this morning I had more moo troubles and Stormy had to be moved to another pasture with other cows....Goofball wants to go see Stormy and he barks for her and it's sweet he loves her...she will walk to the fence and touch noses with him....they are friends!

having trouble with those thistles that make purple blooms on them in the pasture...they get very tall and while the flower is very pretty it is very sharp all over the thistle......they attract bees and you can smell them sometimes in the air when you walk by them....they smell very good....they will take a pasture over in no time...cows do not eat them either....weed control on those things is necessary I think!

Pumpkin cat has been sleeping at the foot of my bed at night and he likes to have his own blanket that he sleeps on or underneath when the fans are cooling the air at night..it has gotten a lot hotter outside now and I run my ceiling fan and my oscillating fan at night...I like it to be cool when I sleep in the summertime.....

anyway Pumpkin has been getting into the dresser drawer and he catches things with his paw and he takes things from the drawers and hides them I think! I found a pair of my socks and a hair band in the floor underneath the dresser!...haha...he's always doing something like this!

thinking about grilling in a few days outside on the grill...

j.

pool assembly day 1....

Yesterday---Went to pet store to purchase cat food...Then went to Target and I browsed the stickers and I purchased 2 sets of stickers to add to my sticker collection....I got kittens with mittens, and then something kind of funny and unique was the sticker book that was foods with faces!....haha...never seen any like that before, so I purchased those...there's nothing funnier than an ice cream cone with a face!....haha....

this morning I woke up early and counted heifers in the pasture and I saw Stormy....but.....I did not see Lightning....I got worried and we looked and looked for that silly heifer and walked/drove all over the pasture then we finally found her in the trees in another pasture with another friend...already causing trouble !.....they think they are older than they are...haha....

then after all that I decided this morning that I am going to start assembling my above ground pool since the rain has ceased and the temperatures are heating up...it was 90 degrees today...so I went to my Grandparents place and they have a lot of blowing sands...very fine sand like a beach sand....so I went and spent all morning shoveling that blow sand into the truck lined with a massive tarp to hold it down and keep from scratching the truck bed with the shovel...

I started at 9am and stopped after being very tired of shoveling sand an hour later....and I thought it was enough....but it was not!...the ground has to be level before you can place and assemble the pool there.....so I ran out of sand after scooping it onto the area I have decided to place my pool....

tired.....and more sand to shovel in the morning before I can get my pool assembled....

I need to get some privacy fencing around my pool or something when I complete the assembling process also....

see you tomorrow morning sand.

my favorite--wild west books....

Looking through some books I have purchased in the last couple of years...I tend to like to find books that do not have flimsy covers....I like books that have many pages to read, great story lines that interest me, inform me, and educate me....they are great to place on your table top and read occasionally.

whatever book I purchase it's because it interests me on the back cover..i just read the back cover and if I like what I read I will get it!

Most of my favorite kinds of book I like to read and have purchased the most of, have to be anything cowboy or about our country's Wild West....because when you think about that, that is where all of us cowboys/cowgirls came from...it's comforting to me...it's home...

I like reading anything about the old sheriffs, settlers, native americans, outlaws, cowboys/cowgirls, horses, events...anything like that because that's pretty much family history right there!...haha...

When I can find those good history books like that, which are very beautifully written, respectful, with very clear old photographs--those I love to purchase and read...I like anything of the Wild West era and history like that..old photographs in the books are my favorites to look at...

biographies of those people in those old days, I like those as well.....you had to be tough to survive back then and I guess some things never change, because it's always been that way hasn't it?

I like to set in a chair and read when it is very quiet and look at the books...just something about having a book about true history is interesting to me....

I also like well written books about the state's history as well....

the Bible is another book I always like to read especially on sundays..I don't think you can ever stop reading the Bible...it's many pages and many things to follow, learn and obey.....very interesting to always read a few pages a week...

love, julie
