But with a dining room chandelier like that, who needs a table and chairs?!?<br /><br />As for the weather, everything is relative. That night, temps were around 50F! (We chill easily here.) We met Teré and Miguel for dinner last night. Miguel was dressed in preparation for a blizzard. We've recently had a cold spell. Temps in the 40s overnight and only going up to low 50s a couple of days.
