Getting into the 70s here in south Louisiana. AC was on all night. With pecan trees dropping their nuts, I'm looking forward to a pecan pie or cakes topped with pecans. As a kid, we went to the local cemetery because of the pecan trees. We had several bags full when the priest caught us. Legally, since it was church property, the pecans belonged to the church. Instead, he said we could keep half the pecans if we donate the rest to the church, which we did. Following Sunday's church service was followed by a bake sale. All baked items had pecans we had picked.

This time of year, Dubai is at it's best.

About 80 degrees and the air is dry. Went out for a drive - convertible weather!!! - but sadly I don't have a convertible so I had to make do with the windows down. Stayed below the speed limit and was mesmerized at what a beautiful day is was. Sat with a glass of chardonney and watched an absolutely beautiful sunset - sky was shades of blue, white, shades of pink, turning to a soft orange until the sun set. Just one of those days that makes you happy to be alive - and it didn't cost a cent!!!!

I had a good day.

It's been cold here in Orlando ( for us) 50's at night. then 70's so no frost, thank goodness.

My day starts with a walk through on a home for an Australian Couple for their closing tomorrow.

The on to Hamburger Marys for the pre party before the annual pride parade... It was put off a month due to rain so we have a beautiful sunny day. I will do some taste testing of the Miller Lite, have to make sure this batch is good... tough job, but someone has to. Two of my past clients/friends may assist in the task.

Last night the Harry Potter cast was in town to debut the DVD release of the final movie so , maybe some will show up... It will be a festive day regardless.



This is our beautiful Lake Eola where the festivities will be.

How is everyone and their families doing? Getting excited and ready for the holidays?

Anyone doing anything big or great? Please do share.

Left me in a better mood but also seeking a true love for myself. Will I ever find him?
Baah, Humbug!! I'm from Occupy Seattle and I'm soaking wet and freezing to death in my makeshift tent.

Nevertheless, I still don't have a clue.
