How are you coping with the heat? It warmed up here and that seems to have unsettled everyone. I think the air quality was poor but it’s not like your temperatures either.

Air conditioning! And not going out in the afternoons if I can help it. Early mornings for errands, and in the evenings, it is slightly cooler. Thanks for stopping by, Booketta…and I also have to be careful of the air quality, as I have asthma.
