Jury Duty!

Well, Scott was chosen and was very excited to serve on his first jury trial. He said he was enthralled the entire time, paying careful attention to the judge and the lawyers. He really took his job seriously - Elmore Co. got their money's worth out of him! Now, tomorrow he'll be back to reality and UPS. There was a time in college that he was pre-law, but as he says, he wasn't the dedicated student I was. He would have been a great lawyer, though!

I shopped at the consignment sale tonight and found some really cute things! I didn't, however, find as much dressy church clothes as I had hoped. The next sale is at the end of the month, and I am working that one, so hopefully I can get my hands on some really good church clothes. Saw several girls from church there tonight, also. I made it there before the rain started, but left with the rain pouring. All the way home, Kate was saying, "Stop, rain. Stop, rain!" I wondered why she was saying that, and I'm quite sure she was wondering why it wasn't listening to her.

Thanks to Nia for watching the kids tonight! Scott got home early, but had a killer headache, so I took them to their house just as we had planned. She said they were really good - I hope it was the truth! HA! You know, there are VERY few people I would trust our kids with. I am so glad that we have the church family we do...

So, I also went to TJMaxx today and got 2 beautiful pictures to go above the fireplace! I was so excited to get them! They are really what I have been looking for, and I just couldn't believe it when I saw them. I felt very fortunate! I'll have to post some pics when I get them hung.

I went by CCE this morning and picked up a few things. The older Brooks gets, the less I find. Oh well. Yeah for finding the pictures at TJMaxx! I get excited about those things too.
