Veterans Day always comes with some extra activities – well, not many more than Memorial Day. The thing is, there are events we cover for the paper, events we attend for civic reasons, personal events we have, and lots of people like to dive on the long weekends.

I left out at not quite 10:00 this morning and made it home about 2:30; just as Hubby was arriving from his scuba commitment. Tomorrow we head into Miami for the Rum Festival, but because the City has added a new event for tomorrow evening, we won’t spend as long – or drink as much – as usual. On the other hand, even though we enjoy the festival, we have been several times so staying a shorter time is okay. Since we’re not exactly sure yet when Hubby will be home after photographing the City event, we’ll thaw fish out and instead of grilling, I’ll do a stove top prep because he just has to call or text that he’s on the way home and I’ll wait to do the final step.

Monday is the Veteran’s Ceremony back downtown and parade. I’ll attend the ceremony and I don’t know yet if Hubby will come in to cover the parade. I have my regular Monday luncheon after the ceremony, but I also have something I need to do for HCA because on top of everything else this time of year, a critical report to the County is due next week and among the 11 documents we have to submit, one of them requires notarization. Since I also have a couple of other errands to run close to the place I go for notary, I’ll just put all of that together. This, of course, assumes nothing else pops up that requires action on my part. However, Hubby is happy because Georgia Tech has had a couple of bad games this season and did manage a win this afternoon against a stronger team. So, we’re definitely ahead for the day.
