pay taxes, insurance, safe driving.....

Had to get a round bale of hay yesterday and move it into the corral with the feed truck for the animals...It was very trying when you have to back the truck in reverse going uphill...I think it wasn't getting any traction with the tires and the ground!!! it was sort of sliding down the hill...but I got the round bale of hay into the corral...

I also had to purchase another box of dog treats and I finally found another box of those dog treats by "Blue Dog Bakery"....Goofball really likes those! I think they are very well made...They have ingredients in them that he really likes...he likes peanut butter...

whenever I let him have some of those dog treats he will sit down on the ground and crunch on them in his mouth......I like the sound of him crunching those treats....haha! it makes me laugh because it looks like he is smiling...

oh btw, I found a Christmas shirt it is green with a cat on the front of it drinking hot chocolate...Haha!!! It is cute!...I also found a snowman Christmas mug to drink hot chocolate in for $2 the other day, so I'm being all Christmasey..I like these whimsical type of Christmas items...

I know some things don't cost as much in the store when you look at just the price in the store then you get to the register to check out and pay and it costs more...I know things are just that way because we all have to pay taxes on all items...I don't mind paying the tax at all..I know that it helps our country, our state, our towns with improvements and repairs on things in all these areas...

taxes are something we all have to pay, and I think that we should all always pay our part to do the right thing, everyone in this country should...and tourists to our state or country should also pay taxes on items they purchase or things they do...Hey, everybody has to do that, so I just say I don't mind paying my part everybody has to!....haha!

Yesterday I had to check on my car/vehicle insurance and make sure I paid that..Everyone needs to keep their car insured because it is very important to keep that paid to make sure that when you drive on the highway you will be insured and won't be sued in court if you have a car accident...It's just something that is required to drive in town, city or on the roads/highways...That way of you have insurance on vehicles you are driving you won't cause problems for yourself and others...it's the right thing for everyone to do!

I remember getting my driving license when I was younger I took a written exam on paper and I passed that to get a learner's permit, then I had to drive with a family member who already had their driving license...so then I went back and I took the driving test in a car at the place I went to and I passed that after a few tries..it is stressful kind of to take the driving test but it is needed to work, travel, and be safe driving..You should always pay attention on the roads when driving so you won't hurt yourself and others....

you always are issued a driving license card and you have to keep it renewed every so many years but time goes by fast and you must keep checking on it in your wallet every so many months to make sure it hasn't expired!...Haha I know I have gotten very close to letting mine expire before, like a week before the expire date, and I looked at it and I thought:"Oh my goodness ! I better get that renewed!" so you always gotta watch it....

you should always be careful driving on the roads, in the towns/cities and on the highways everyone should be careful and pay attention out there!

screaming neighbor, christmas cards and greetings.....

Very foggy morning....It will take me a while to get out there to feed my calf Stormy her feed....with all the fog in the air you can't see at all!...

I'm hoping that I won't hear my neighbor up the road screaming this morning like she was yesterday when I went to feed the calf  at my barn...She was screaming and yelling at a man or someone I don't know who it was...She's always screamed crazy like that and it's very annoying and sometimes alarming!....good grief !

She's been very difficult to get along with the last couple of years....I haven't ever talked to her much at all, but whenever she is screaming the whole time it's kept me away...a good thing I stayed away from her I'm sure!...I'm pretty sure she has been prowling at my house at night and stolen things before and that's disappointing...

I have heard her talking outside my house at night early morning hours....I've heard a lot of people talking outside my house at night, most from my hometown who didn't like me, the dogs barked all the time!.....annoying and stupid!

but oh well,

I think you should always be kind to your neighbors and if you don't like them or they are hateful to you, just stay away from them and keep to yourself....there doesn't need to be any awful confrontation with neighbors just be peaceful and stay away from them when they are mean or scare you.

If they are nice and kind I like to be nice right back to them and let them know I care about them as a neighbor, say hello and stop by and take them something they have purchased in the store or have crafted for the holidays(nothing too expensive), candy or cookies or something and say "Merry Christmas" to them...it's always a good thing to be nice to kind neighbors who are peaceful and friendly.

so many neighbors these days fight all the time, steal from one another, and harass one another all the time...it's so stupid and an awful thing to do...it's not peaceful it's making problems and it is wrong!

just be nice and kind.

I like to also give Christmas cards that are friendly and cute with a Christmas blessing or wish in them to nice neighbors, friends, and my family members who love and care about me...I think it's the nice thing to do this time of year...something I think we should all do once again it has sort of faded out into the past and I think we should all do that once again like before..

You can choose any box of Christmas cards, any color, or any theme with a message or without a message just choose what you like, and give to those people to send good wishes for Christmas and the upcoming year...I like to always sign my name after the message....

love, julie

years ago in America....

I like my country....It's home and I am an American....I want the best for my country and I want it to prosper and become a much safer country.I want to support more American businesses and have more jobs here and companies....

If you support American businesses and buy those products that help our economy it helps America to prosper....as I know everyone who loves their country wants their country to grow! and change is ok when it's a good change that helps the people and the country flourish.

I like to buy things made here in America I always have, because that's who I am an American girl!

I just like older things that have a rustic look to them and even something as silly as older labels on old American brands of products it makes me smile to see how nice they look.

I even love the older fashions of clothes from the 1940's 1950's I think people really knew how to dress back then! They were very classy and beautiful!...men and women both...it was nicer and cleaner looking...Something as simple as prints and patterns on clothes from back then, I like to look at those and they were very nice and unique! I saw a old picture of my Grandma, a great auntie, and my great Grandma together walking down a street from back then and they were so beautiful in those clothes and very classy looking! we should all miss that...we need that again! but you can't find those anymore...makes me sad!

you'd see a picture from back then and see women and men dressed in those clothes and you think immediately:" Those people look nice, they look very sharp, in charge, and they know what the heck they are doing!"....haha!

 It was all apart of America's charm and something as simple as fashion in clothing, and labeling on products, building companies founded on trust, faith, and hope for our country adds to that unique quality of our country.We are known as very good workers in industries and there just aren't enough jobs for our country right now, so hopefully in the future there will be more jobs for our amazing workforce here in America!

I know every country goes through very tough times but you always have to work at being better and working on things to improve your country like this help every day.

 I know a lot of people want that lifestyle back...it was just classier I think...I know that's what people really miss!

comfortable dining....

Casual means "not too fancy"....haha!...That's how I like dinners to be with friends...Whenever I meet with friends I like to take them to dinner somewhere nice and comfortable.Ever been in a restaurant full of loud talking and overcrowded tables?...I have, it's annoying!

I want to be able to actually hear what people are saying to me across the table you know?!...haha

One thing that I like to do is talk, laugh a lot,  and enjoy a nice dinner in town with friends and family....

I try to pick a type of food cuisine that everyone can enjoy and everyone likes so that way everyone is happy at dinner and not sitting there picking at their food thinking:"What is this?!"....haha!.....I kind of like to know what is sitting on my dinner plate and I'd hope that guests at the dinner table would also know what the heck they were about to have for dinner as well!....

It doesn't really matter to me what type of food may be at a dinner...I'm not picky!...just as long as I know what it is on the plate and I'm not scared of what it may be...because I'm sure that there are lots of different types of food out there that I am not aware of and may not like....

I like to talk and laugh at dinners and be able to set down in a chair and talk comfortably, not worry about not being able to hear people because a room is too overcrowded or noisy....it's funny trying to talk to people across a table and not hear a word they are saying!...lol.

smile, laugh, and nod....pretend you can hear...because you actually can't!..how funny is that?...because sadly I have had to be that way in restaurants because they were too loud!

it can be nice but also not too fancy, there are plenty of restaurants out there that are very nice to dine at, but also not a zillion dollars a plate and so fancy I don't know what the heck is going on in them....I like the nice but not too fancy they are comfortable...

You can never ever have too much Taco Bell....can't overrule that one any day!....Haha!

black cats are a blessing!.....

Listening to Christmas music...I like the older Christmas music like this one:
I like all kinds of music actually...I also like Instrumental music it helps with stress in your life....your mind just kind of stops worrying and being upset when you can listen to peaceful music like this one I like at Christmas..so pretty! I like the piano for this one...
 
 

I think about helping out with homeless shelters this time of year and I think about helping out at animal shelters this time of year also...

Donating food or money to homeless shelters and donating time there to help out as well are wonderful things to always think about this time of year! It always makes me feel happy when I put together food boxes for homeless shelters or donate food or clothing to shelters or pet supplies to animal shelters....all ways to help out this time of the year so they can all have a Christmas...

Something I read in a newspaper is that they have a lot of animals that are black in color at the animal shelters, cats and dogs that people won't adopt because they think they are bad omens because of their color of their fur being black...

It makes me very sad and upset that people think that animals are bad omens because of their fur being black and I am here to let everyone know that is NOT true!!!

Black cats being bad omens is just some stupid crap that idiots have made up....just a bunch of idiots sitting around making up crap millions of years ago as usual....it's not true at all!

I have a black cat named Pumpkin and he saved my life when I was very sick I found him and he made me laugh all the time and he cares about me as well....he kept me safe from people outside my house one night as well, when he woke me up and warned me of dangerous people outside of my house....He meowed and told me that something was going on outside and I woke up and he saved my life....

My dog Goofball is black in color as well and he makes me laugh all the time also...they are both a blessing to my life because they have saved my life...

Cats and Dogs are both very loyal pets, no matter what color, to have in your life and be sure that you know you have to take care of them, feed them, care for them always and protect them....take care of their health and buy them food, water them and keep them safe from roads, and dangerous people....

they love you when you love and care for them..they will always be there for you no matter what as long as you love them and take care of them....I know they can be expensive but that's why I don't waste money on things like too many clothes, makeup, or unnecessary items for myself...so I can take care of them.

Cat litter can be expensive I know, even the cheapest brand is good! hey, it works! also it's always a good thing to keep their litter boxes cleaned daily and wash food bowls...

I type this right now as Pumpkin cat sits right here infront of my computer!!!....Haha I suppose he wants to help me type this morning....

I just want all people to know that Black cats and dogs are not bad omens at all!!! they are just pets and no matter their color they are wonderful and a blessing!!!

so get out there and adopt/save more black cats and dogs also...

I love cats and dogs...cats make wonderful pets to keep in the house because they are easily trained to go bathroom in the litter box and they make me giggle all the time!

love you Dad!
