We began a tradition that everyone can participate in and enjoy. Each year, on the same plain table cloth and with permanent colored markers, each of us draws/writes and dates a sentiment they are thankful for or want to share. Be sure and put newspaper under the tablecloth so the marker doesn't stain your table. Once done, iron the drawings to help set them so they won't run so much in the wash. Yes, some permanent markers will get fuzzy - see mine below. No matter, we can still read it and that's what counts.
While we dine, we study the art and accompanying script surrounding our plates and laugh and remember our times together. Give it a try and make new memories with those you love.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

What a grand idea, Jane Marie! All can join in and draw on the tablecloth, even the little ones. Thank you for sharing. From Dunnigan Manor through time to Stately Malcolm Manor, may we slow our lives and take stock of all God has done for us. Be blessed on Thanksgiving day and every day.
