America Never did Obtain Total Independence from England

The proof of America’s undying connection with England is the non-stop reporting in American media of English royalty. When I say “the queen” everyone knows who I am talking about. When Princess Di was killed in a car accident America wept. Megan Markle’s marriage to Prince Harry reinforces that connection.

Markle grew up in Leimert Park. That is a mostly black community in Los Angeles. She attended Immaculate Heart High, an all-girls school in the Hollywood Hills, and worked her way up the Hollywood acting ladder, becoming a regular on the TV show “Suits.” In 2003 she graduated from Northwestern University with a double major in theatre and international relations.

Meghan made Canada her home after landing her role on Suits in 2011, staying in the Seaton Village neighbourhood of Toronto, where the show is filmed. She moved out in late November 2017 when her work on the show was complete.

Markle was previously married to TV producer Trevor Engelson in a ceremony in Jamaica in 2011. The couple divorced two years later.

Is Megan Markle the 21st century version of Wallis Simpson?

Thanksgiving 2019

I am giving thanks to my grandparents who had the wisdom the move to America.

I am giving thanks to the wise men who wrote our constitution.

I am giving thanks to the ten amendments to the constitution especially the first amendment.

I am giving thanks that there are people in authority today who defend the rule of law.

Lastly I am thankful that I can afford to enjoy a turkey dinner.

The Orange Tree will provide a bumper crop

The tree is probably 60 years old.  It was not looking well.  The nursery suggested a fertilizer mix to spread every three months.  The crop was big last year and this year the branches are almost touching the ground thanks to the heavy load of fruit. The tree is easily 30 feet tall and I can see the fruit near the top. They will be bright orange around January 1.  The squirrels are going to have a wonderful time.
