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. |

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?

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 |
