By Florida's standards, it's chilly but it would probably be a heat wave for you. LOL We were in low 70s F yesterday and today it is in low 50s F and will go below freezing tonite. That's really chilly for us poor Southern gals. LOL HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and for all the great help I received during the year.
