Taking Care of Business

We got a notice in the mail saying Beth's jury duty has been extended until April. We have one month to get a letter from her doctor confirming her diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Well we got the letter and yesterday Beth and I took it to the court house.

Unfortunately, we went to the local court house and she's been summoned to the Superior Court in a city about a half hour from our house. So we'll be mailing the letter.

After the court house we stopped at the library. We had to update her card but it only took a few seconds. She found a movie she wanted and I found one called The Big Comfy Couch. I don't know how many of you watched that show but our girls used to watch it when they were little! We loved that show! It was Loonette and her doll Molly. Anyway I got it to watch it with Allie.

After that we stopped by Fred Meyer and she bought a movie. That girl loves her DVDs. Then it was home for dinner.

We hope you all had a great day too! 

An Interesting Opportunity?

Look what came in the mail yesterday -

 

Sorry it's crooked. I had to fold it and refold it to make sure I hid some of the personal information.

Chuck and I have been talking about what to do. I know Beth doesn't have the mental capabilities to handle being a juror. We might take her to the courthouse and let her decline in person. We're not sure.

After reading the entire letter, I guess our only options are to respond electronically or by filling out the letter and mailing it back. They give reasons for not serving - health, business, financial hardship. Then at the very end they list: other. I don't know if they'll believe us when we tell them she has Down Syndrome or if they'll want to see her and some ID. It'll be interesting.
