JUSTICE FOR ONE AND FOR ALL

As you know I have been 
gone all week.
Did you know there are
two types of justice?
One was served here yesterday.
Thank You, Lord!!!!
This is what the courthouse
looked like about 9 pm last 
night when we left.
It was a long and grueling week
and I may talk about it later-
but not today.
AND
There is another kind of 
JUSTICE, too.

And THAT Justice is where we
are taking our 
Sweet little granddaughter, Ria
today!
Why are we taking her there?
Well, because it's her
NINTH BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday, Ria.
We SOOOO Love You!
More birthday pictures
in a day or so!

Happy Birthday, Ria!

I have looked at this store, wishing that it was around when my own now-grown daughters were little. Have a great time on your shopping trip!

Good Morning Diana, You had jury duty all week. That is one thing I have not had to do with being the primary caregiver. Happy birthday to Ria and the store looks like it would be so much fun. I miss the children store that we use to have a long time ago. They catered to young kids. Have a wonderful day with your granddaughter. Many Hugs and Prayers from your Missouri Friend.

Darling D.
You have had too many "platefuls" lately. Instead of leaving comments...I prayed!

Happy Birthday to Ria! Isn't it wonderful when justice is served. I followed a trial last year on a daily basis on the internet as it was going on and justice was served. The man on trial was so sure he was going to get away with murder but instead, he got life. When the verdict came in, people were screaming outside the court room and car horns were beeping. Everybody was so relieved!

Have fun! Happy Birthday, Ria!
xo, T.

Debby said...

I am hoping that you were just on jury duty and it wasn't personal.
Happy Birthday to Ria. Our granddaughter loves Justice. She will be 10 next month.
Have a good week-end.

Suzanne said...

Hope your girl had a wonderful time!

Mary@mydogsmygardenandmary said...

First Happy Bday to your granddaughter.
My granddaughter only wants clothes from Justice and I can NEVER get out of there until I spend a least $100.00 and that is after all the big discounts. Not because she wants this or that, I go alone. It's me seeing all the cute things that would look good on her. So good luck from now on...... all your granddaughter will be wanting JUSTICE.
Have a great weekend.
Mary

Shopping with a young one is such fun! Sorry you had a week of struggle, but hoping all turned out well.

Susan Shull said...

Sounds like an interesting story, but probably a sad one too. Happy Birthday to your little sweetie. Good luck at Justice! I have two granddaughters who LOVE the store, but I have to say I do not share their feelings!I wonder if my grandma felt the same way about my favorite store? LOL

Karen said...

Have a happy happy birthday, RIA!! Looking forward to the pics and details!!

Happy Birthday, Ria! Hope you get some really cool stuff from Nana. I remember when my grandma took me shopping and it was so much fun. Enjoy your day and don't forget to get lunch out of her, too. You know she's old and might forget. LOL
9 is a very good age to be.

Have a great day with Ria, our girls love Justice too!
The tests came back negative Diana, I'm so happy, I think the 7 days of waiting was taking a tole on me:) Thanks for your prayers, I appreciate it so very much!

Ricki Treleaven said...

I hope you bought out Justice for Ria, LOL! Oh, I remember those little Justice days *sadface*

Are you going to write a story about a courtroom drama?

Judy at GoldCountryCottage said...

Hi Diana, hope you were off having jury duty last week. Can't imagine anything more fun! I always got the DUI's, never could get anything fun. Well, make up for it by celebrating Ria's birthday in style. Happy Birthday sweet girl and Happy Weekend..Judy

Rick Watson said...

Happy Birthday to Ria. She's a lovely child.

Maureen Wyatt said...

I hope she had a very happy birthday! Glad you found justice. It doesn't always happen, unfortunately.

Susan said...

Happy Birthday to Ria. Is she familiar with the Hippo Birdie Two Ewe cartoon? If not, try to find one on line for her, it's my favorite b-day greeting. Hope all is well and happy shopping!

Patty Patterson said...

Happy Birthday to Ria! We have a Justice here, too. I haven't shopped there, though. It looks like a store for bigger girls. But, I'm sure I will eventually.

Sew a Fine Seam said...

Happy Birthday Ria!! You are such a lovely lady and so blessed with such a wonderful Nana!

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces said...

Happy birthday to your sweet granddaughter...my granddaughters love that store, too!

joanne said...

Happy Birthday Ria! Have fun at the store, I think I'd rather be at the courthouse than that tangled web of tweens shopping.

Renee said...

I've done jury duty 3 times now. The last time was serving on the grand jury for 6 months, just 1 day a month. That was interesting.

I know about that other Justice, too. My granddaughter's favorite store. Thank goodness for their 40%off sales and Justice Bucks :) We don't buy anything for her unless she is with us.

Happy birthday to your Ria. Grands make life fun and interesting.

Shannon Fox said...
