  1. Hi Deer Ponders. It was such a pretty picture and beautiful birds that I had to use it for this week's pic. Hope you like it. It's only Monday and it already seems like a busy week. I came home today and found a letter from the District Court in downtown Seattle. It says that I am to start my Grand Jury duty next Wed and Thurs. I will go every other week for a year and a half. I am an alternate but thought it might be 2-3 months before they would get to me.

  2. Morning Ponders. That bluebird pic just speaks of spring. So pretty.

    Wog, is the grand jury a federal jury or King County? Don't they pay you to sit on a jury? It could be interesting.

    We have been working in our yard, or I should say Scott has been doing most of the work. When I get tired I stop but he makes himself keep working. I think he over did it cause he has been sleeping a lot. Rain can be a blessing.

    In a way I am envious of Surfie and Eva with their moves. It is like a fresh start.

    1. Hi Gloria, are you back on the west side of the mountains? I thought you might be stuck over there when it snowed in the mountains recently.

      I'm guessing that my jury duty is at Federal courthouse. The envelope says United States District Court. Will know more next week. I do know that I can't discuss the cases. But I can tell Ponders what it's like to be there.

  3. Everything is going to fast for me! Just realized that it is Holocaust Remembrance. I will change our Pond pic when I get home. We must always remember this important day.

  4. Politics is going to be interesting the next couple of years. Just found this Hillary article on DailyMailOnline.com. Are you surprised?

    Campaign staff DROVE 'ordinary' Iowans to Hillary's first campaign stop - including health care 'lobbyist in training' who was an Obama campaign intern and Biden chauffeur

    "Hillary Clinton's Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton. Bird, pictured in the blue tie, told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city. Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour. The three got the lion's share of Mrs. Clinton's time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a 'roundtable'- the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing."

  5. How can Hillary just continue on like nothing is wrong? The email scandal, Bengazi, all the foreign campaign funds and so on and so on. I can't believe she would even be considered as a candidate.

    Interesting thing happened while Scott and I were at the nursery today. He got a phone call from a guy who said, "When can I come to your house to do your physical assessment?" I was shocked. It has to do with Medicare. What kind of insanity is this that a total stranger would try to pressure a retired person into coming to their house? It is actuall kind of scarry.
