And while it had never occurred to me that I might be hugged in the jury assembly room, I will never decline a hug from my father. Dad got three times lucky last week when he was summoned for jury duty. He didn't have to appear on Monday or Tuesday, and while he and I were chatting Wednesday morning, Judge Croce herself came down and dismissed the jurors, saying the defendant had pleaded guilty.
Dad looked very nice on Wednesday, and when I told Mom that, she said "Because I dressed him!" :-D I am fairly sure, btw, that she meant that she picked out his clothes, not that she put them on him.
Last week at work, Monday and Tuesday were frantic, as I tried to docket everything I could before the automatic hearing date changed. Wednesday I got to see Dad and Thursday was more frantic reviewing and docketing so I could feel free to take Monday through Wednesday of this week off. County employees had Friday off for the holiday, and come Monday morning, I'm a-headin' up the lake.
While I'm there, I will spend time with my family, eat my mother's wonderful cooking, visit the Cheese Haven and read a book or two. So looking forward to it!
