Re-retired

Last Thursday/Friday was my last day of my 10 week temporary employment. It went relatively well, except for the working nights part. I was asked if I would be interested in returning for another short stint next year. I think that I would, but it would have to be daytime hours. So we will see what happens. But for now, I need to get back in my retired mode!
The weather has been crazy the last few days with temperatures in the mid to upper
90's. The forecast for today is 100+, which would be an all time record! Not just for this date, but ever!! We should be sitting out in the sprinkler all day, but instead, I am going to the Mariner's game this afternoon with friend Pat. Then we are going to the Moody Blues concert with Pat and Steph this evening at an outside venue. This should be a good endurance check.
No RV plans for the remainder of this year yet. Maybe we can sneak off for a week or two after Joyce and Kristin get back from Europe the latter part of September. It would depend on what the weather forecast is. We tried RVing in the snow on our "Great Adventure" last year, and we would rather be where it's warm, dry, and sunny. Neither one of us is partial to snow.
This past weekend, we took my mother with us to Keith and Sheila's for the day. She always enjoys getting out for the day. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive each way. Her hearing is about as bad as it gets, so she doesn't get very much of the conversations. But at 94 she can't complain,(but she does!)
I'm sure there must be some other important things going on here, but I can't think of any. So until then, stay cool!!!!!!!Ernie

Your getting our weather and we're getting yours and we are LOVING IT. I don't miss the 100's at all.
Good luck on your outdoor events, be sure you drink plenty fluids (of your choice). I hope the Mariners make you proud since you have to watch it while you bake in an oven.
Glad your mom is doing well. Wow, all the changes she must have seen in her life time. Just look at all the changes that have taken place in the last 25 years alone. With all the modern stuff (ie: microwaves, cell phones, computers, etc) I'm not sure I'd like to go back in time...well maybe.
Be cool.....Diane
