Holy moly, I forgot how warm it could get in Houston in December. Today we got up to 80 degrees as I was outside hanging lights on my patio. Actually, the plan was to hang them while my cleaning lady was here so she could call for help if I fell. But she's such a sweetie that she came out shortly after I started and offered to help. So she went up and down the ladder, while I held the lights. And for her participation, I gave her some Christmas lights and decorations that I didn't need. I love Elia!
