Not quite as hot today; 87°F at 11:30AM. Lots of haze in the air but still not enough smoke to smell it. There are hazard conditions warning - the pool is closed. After a morning walk I sat in the trailer reading.
Around 11:00 I headed for a shower. The showers here at Cherry Hill (there are three bathroom buildings, all the same plus a set in the Clubhouse) appear to be designed & built by someone that expects to use them. While a bit tight for large folks, they are practical. 5 in Bathhouse #1, one flat floor & large for disabled. The other four have a bench & 4 hooks in the drying area, a shelf that is high & easily accessed from the shower, and a soap dish in the shower. Standard shower head and adjustable water temperature. Overall, I rate it an A.
After that is was sitting around in the trailer reading. The smoke is worse today than it was yesterday so sitting outside even in the shade was uncomfortable.
Around 2:00 we headed to Karin's. Since I have trouble backing the truck onto Carroll street from her driveway, I usually park in an abandoned parking lot down the street. Today they appear to be repaving it so it was out. I found a parking place nearby.
We sat around with Karin, Noah and Brian for the rest of the afternoon.

We went to a Thai restaurant the Kin Da. I had garlic broccoli with shrimp. Very good and a lot of it. All the meals were enough for two, although, of course, I ate all of mine.
We were back at the trailers by 7:30 or so, sat out for a bit then came in to post today's page.
Until Tomorrow -
