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.

    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 a good week-end.

    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.

    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

    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.
