Good morning...I found an article this morning in the newspaper...Neiman Marcus Christmas gift book is out now...

for an mere $1.85 million dollars, the Forvermark 25-carat diamond comes with an trip to DeBeers London headquarters, an private tour of the Crown Jewels, and dinner at the Tower of London...the trip then continues onto Nambia's  coast where the diamond was sourced......or,,,

for those on more of an budget....there's an Aston Martin Vanquish vollante convertible (similar to the one Pricess Kate and Prince William drove away in when they got married) for $344,500...and only 10 will be made...they will be hand built out of Gaydon, England

finally....an hunting trip with an flacon companion costs $150,000 ..to experience "an ancient sport for the nobles of Europe in Medieval English days".

I forgot the one for the kiiddies...An his and hers ultimate gift of an outdoor entertainment system..cost 1.5 million and includes an 201 inch viewing screen and two apple mini-pads that serve as remotes.

There are 500 suggested gifts in the 175 page catalogue this year and 40 per cent of them are priced under $250, including an $12 monogrammed mug.

So see, it's time to move on to "Christmas" thoughts for this year.

Is the clean up over yet Rick and back to normal over there yet?

 

Ron, Some of our highways have been repaired, more left to do, yet, in some areas, the snow is already flying and many a homeowner will not be able to get back to their homes anytime soon. Fall is short lived this year, we are cold and the leaves are flying off the trees fast. We had 3 inches of snow last week. Here comes winter! How are things down your way then?

It's a cold wind that blows Rick but not too bad really.

I prefer the comparative cold to the heat, but as normal in England it's raining!

Glad things are beginning to get back to normal for you over there.

Take care mate
