Hello Dear Friends and Happy August! Perhaps in colder climates, by the first of August, summer is starting to wane? Here in North Carolina, it is still quite hot. My mom's air conditioner has been out for over two weeks, but thankfully, she has a separate air-conditioned room where she can sit during the day and a place to sleep at night. I've heard about other folks who are not so lucky. I hope you are comfortable wherever you are during this current heat wave.
