Thanksgiving preparations

With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, I decided to pull out my linens to see if anything needed to be laundered, pressed, or repaired. This is a great thing to do weeks in advance instead of the day before or day of!

I was so glad I did! I found one of my favorite tablecloths during my search - a plain white cloth, that had everyone's signature on it. My husband and I hosted our first family Thanksgiving in 1994 and to commerate it, I decided to have everyone sign the tablecloth and then later I would embroider over the signatures to "dress" it up. What makes it so special is that it was one of the last Thanksgiving's John's grandfather attended. My children never got to meet their great-grandfather and using our special tablecloth is a wonderful way to remember him!
