Mid May or What Happened to Spring??

Here we are in the middle of May, and I have needed gloves in my morning walk. Joyce has been bundled up like it was December! We need a little of that "global warming" that we have been hearing so much about. Maybe with our crappy winter and spring things will turn around for a nice summer.
I am officially headed back to work for about 10 weeks begining this coming Monday. I will be working nights and probably will not be getting the sleep that I have grown accustomed to since retiring last August. I'll have to get into an afternoon nap routine, and I have just the right outdoor recliner for that. (Thanks Joe& Molly)
I need somebody to step up and take a few baseball tickets off my hands, as work will cause me to miss a few. Good seats in the 300 level behind home plate.
Last night we went to a Blues Dinner Club with a group of friends, and stayed out almost to midnight! Good music with Louisiana style food that was not as good as we had on our trip but, you can't have everything. Randy and I decided that they need to add some barbecue to the menu, but we aren't in charge.
We have finally gotten to the mid 60's to low 70's for our daytime temperatures, so I am in the process of finishing the front door that was installed about 6 months ago. Now if only my lawn would take shape after killing off all of the moss, the outdoors will be in fairly good shape. I just need to finish the annual "staining of the deck", but again we need DRY weather with WARM temperatures.
My mother is back on the road to recovery, but is still in the health center at Judson Park. We do not think that she will be able to move back to her independent living apartment, but hope to get her to assisted living. She picked up one of the so called "Super Bugs" somewhere. We think it was probably at the hospital where she went when she had a stroke in March.(She will be 94 in July)
It's time to go for our daily walk, then get back to work on the door.......Ernie

Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Well, it's almost a done deal that I will be returning to work in a week or so. It will be a 10 week deal, so the light at the end of the tunnel will start out big! I turned in my official application today. I had another inquiry about my services from another former employer yesterday. I could barely get my shirt off over my head last night when I went to bed.
Otherwise not much happening around here. The weather has been kind of sucky lately. Lots of wind and rain, so my yard looks like crap again with all of the crud from the trees. But the moss perceveres! One of these days I'll get it looking good again.
Joyce and I went to the Mariners game last night, and saw them lose for the first time in the regular season. We don't have tickets for a game now for almost 3 weeks.
And because of my potential work schedule, I may have to miss a game or two.
Joyce and Kristin are continuing to prepare for their trip to Europe in September, and I am looking into meeting Joyce in Germany the end of September. It might workout. We shall see.
I've been promising to get some pictures up on the past couple of blogs, and the camera battery is being charged right now. So shortly there will be some very random pictures down loaded (that's computer talk).
Today is the 5th of May, so kick back and tip a Corona!! Adios, Ernesto
