MILITARY CEREMONY

Today started out cloudy and then by noon the clouds gave way to a clear sky with the temperature rising into the lower 70's. Humidity increased by dinner time but no real rain storm and then the air pushed the humidity out this evening.

Today I was off from work. I only work four days a week with every other Wednesday off and every other Friday off. So I went and picked up my cousin and we had a day out. We did a little shopping. I bought something to wear to a wedding next month and a summery dress to wear to a retirement ceremony the end of this month.

When I worked at the university here in the city where I live, I was the Administrative assistant (can you say secretary) to the Air Force ROTC office. I was the only university employee and I worked for at any given time two enclosed people and five officers. The students took ROTC classes and drill and ceremony and the officers taught the classes. The ranged in level from Freshmen all the way to Seniors. When they graduated they had a Bachelors Degree in whatever field they studied and were committed to serve four years in the Air Force as an officer. It was a very interesting job. The Commander of the Detachment as they called it, was usually a Colonel and the Colonel that I worked for right before I left is retiring the end of this month and they are going to have a formal retirement ceremony at the school and a formal dinner at the Officer's Club at the base where the Colonel lives. So I bought a dress today to wear to the ceremony and dinner. A lot of the staff that I worked will be there and maybe even some of the cadets who have not graduated yet and officers that I have seen through the program, may be there.

We had lunch at a local pub that is famous for their seafood. It was very good and then we went back to her place where I helped her with some computer issues she was having.

I got home in time for dinner and luckily I was not able to eat all my lunch because getting something for dinner was a snap. My husband ate my leftovers.

Here's a question for all you bloggers. How do you remember what you have and have not blogged about? Do you have to look through all your old posts to find out if you have blogged about say, HOW I LOVE TO PLAY SCRABBLE?
