@JGoldman10,
We don't have a "Veterans Day" over here we have Remembrance Sunday.
I went to the antiques fair in Shepton Mallet and observed a minutes silence at 11am, when we were all quiet.
I did get some antique Christmas lights which I managed to get working.
And no, I didn't miss you this time. As Cherie has pointed out you were only gone for a month. In that month one of my cats died so I've been dealing with that.
I did miss you before, when you were gone for a long time.
