Chance of rain Sunday morning then most cloudy with winds up to 20 mph and temps in low 50's. Tradition has always been our son Chris goes to the garden center with me to buy my annuals and then helps me plant the flowers in various planters then BBQ dinner. Not sure that will happen this year but will wait until Sunday and see what the actual weather is. Hoping the weatherman is wrong! We usually celebrate Mother’s Day at the house of my daughter who lives nearby but the past two years we celebrated Mother’s Day,Fathers Day and my birthday on my deck. I was outside an hour ago to take the second Covid booster.It was 70 degrees.It felt so good to be in warm weather. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I relish the chance to throw bad guys in jail & dismiss frivolous law suits. 😁 I done both but haven't served in over 30 years. I get excited when I get the notice in the mail but I always get dismissed when I call in the night before to see if I'm needed that week. 🤨 I served on jury duty in the old days when there was no such thing as calling to see if you had to report.I loved being on juries but I was also a workaholic and that was always a conflict.I met a lot of interesting people who were jurors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was only ever called once, and was excused because I knew the arresting officer and the prosecuting attorney. I never got excused even though many of my friends were police officers and 2 were judges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That price of $3.95 would be high here. Prices has gone up to $3.82 in our county which is higher than most places in Arkansas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up being in the elevator with the defendant and his attorney and they were very happy with the settlement. I was bummed as I was really interested in the case and the process. I posted this before.I was a juror on a trial.We found the defendant guilty.It was a criminal trial.The next day I returned to work and was coming up subway stairs when a guy was walking down.It was the guy we convicted. He should not have been on bail ,in my opinion.As soon as I arrived at my office I called the court and found out that the guy was able to be on bail because his mother was a Judge’s secretary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs fine on regular gas but premium is recommended for maximum performance (power). With the price of premium hitting $5.38 a gallon, I'll put regular in. While there is a noticeable difference in power, both me and the Saab are too old for drag racing.🙃 It went up to $4.49 here in NJ today. Up 17 cents overnight.

Arzeena Posted May 5, 2022 #56594 Share Posted May 5, 2022 3 hours ago, Sunshine3601 said: I was so sad when they stopped the Cuban sailings. Hopefully someday I can cruise there. We were booked for an Empress sailing out of Baltimore or NJ for spring 2020. I cannot remember if it was a Canada or Bermuda sailing but we had booked one of those large ocean view cabins - I think she had 6 or 8 of those cabins. We were lucky we decided to do a Cuba cruise in good time. We went with Holland America for the 14 Night Cuba and Western Caribbean cruise. I loved it! The food, the people, the music! We decided we would go again. But that never happened. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric and I were doing a b2b on Serenade for 22 or 23 nights out of FL in Jan/Feb 2019 and I said let's jump onto Empress and go to Cuba when we get off this ship. Unfortunately, he didn't jump on my idea and several months later it was shutdown. 😪 I wonder if it will ever open back up. I sure hope so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
