KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Happy Thanksgiving, You Whacky Patriots! “I’ll still be here toiling away on all of the Monday federal holidays, as well as Sydney Sweeney’s birthday, whenever it falls on a weekday.”

#JOURNALISM:

SOMETHING ABOUT MADISON’S THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION: For one thing, President James Madison issued his Thanksgiving Proclamation in March, not November. But there’s something else unusual about it that is worth contemplating on this solemn and joyous day.

FLASHBACK:

FROM HOLLY CHISM:   Sleigh Bells and Wedding Bells (Building a Life Book 2).

Amaryllis and Chris have been in love since…forever. Even if Amaryllis didn’t realize it until Chris fell off a ladder. A year later, they’re working and planning toward a wedding. Eventually. When they get enough money built up, and can take the time to do it.

Unfortunately, Amaryllis forgot Thanksgiving. Her mother decided that since she forgot it, she could make it. And that would have been fine, if the turkey hadn’t suddenly been the worst thing ever.

Now, she’s got three weeks to plan her own wedding, and only four hundred dollars to pay for it. But she’ll manage. It’ll work.

It just has to.

JUST REMEMBER, THE DUMB HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WITH US, BUT THE SPECIES GOES ON:  Sometimes I Despair.
