A note of thanks from Lady B
It seems my authoresses have all sent their regrets today. They are celebrating an American holiday with their families. Something they call “Thanksgiving.”
Upon hearing more about this holiday, Albert was distressed to learn that a great many birds are sacrificed. However, when I assured him that they are almost entirely turkeys — those rather vulgar colonial fowl — his feathers were soothed.
Those of you living in America, please enjoy this holiday with your families. The authoresses will be back on Saturday for our regular Saturday Salon with special guest Brenna Aubrey, featuring the inspiration of Jane Austen.
In the meantime, the authoresses have all asked me to express how very thankful they are for you, our Ballroom guests. And as Americans hold no monopoly on gratitude, I will say that I am thankful for you, too! These past four months of balls and salons have been a true source of inspiration and amusement. Please have a safe and delightful holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all The Ballroom visitors and my fellow authoresses. And to Lady B, too. This week I discovered evidence that Thanksgiving may after all have been a Regency holiday. And why not? I bet Albert would love cranberry sauce.

Greetings Lady B. and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Lady B., we, the visitors to the Ballroom, are the ones who are truly thankful for your graciousness in allowing us to visit so often. If not for you and the authoresses, our ordinary lives would be very dull indeed.
Miranda, Happy Thanksgiving and it wouldn’t surprise me at all that such a gathering had its foundation in England … on my current blog posting, I talked about some of the things that came by way of your homeland and if not for them, Thanksgiving and the holidays just woudn’t be the same. (posted a little something- something from my WIP, too – y’all give me courage).
Thank you again, Lady B. and Albert, don’t worry, we hungry Yanks only like to eat really big birds!

I hope this posts okay, y’all gotta see this … Lady B., you might want to cover Albert’s eyes.

I am thankful for Lady B opening her home to us each week so that we may learn more about those potted plants. I am thankful that my mother was able to share another Thanksgiving. I am thankful for the authoresses who let us leave reality to take flight in a world of HEA.
Thank you all.

And thank you so much to Lady B, and authoresses for creating this wonderful community where we can all come together!
