Partly cloudy with temperatures rising towards the mid 70s. Winds light and variable.
Last night was the retirement ceremony for the Colonel I use to work for. The ceremony was to begin at 2:30 and the dinner at the Officer's Club at 5:30. So my husband had to come home early and put on a suit and tie, that was a lot of fun. When you don't wear a suit and time but once every couple of years it is quite interesting trying to get in all together. We got to the university about 2:15 parked and went in. There I saw some of the people I have worked with the last couple of years I was in that job. It was fun to reminisce. The ceremony was late getting started because the General, who was coming from the Pentagon, flight was late arriving. The ceremony was very beautiful without a dry eye. Then we went to the dinner, great cocktail hour and a delicious dinner with many more guests speaking about the Colonel's achievements. He married a Spanish women when he was stationed in Spain in 1980, brought her and her 4 year old son here to America. He had accomplished many great things serving his country and every one was very proud to know him. His family from Spain came to be here as was his family from Pennsylvania. I was so happy to be a part of that as a civilian.
