Friday's Grand Connection Funby Mary May Larmoyeux
Hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Pops and I spent it with some of our grandchildren.
We had a great time using Untie Your Story napkin ties from
Ever Thine Home (www.everthinehome.com). Each one is imprinted
with a question, and we had fun answering the different questions after we finished
our Thanksgiving meal.
We also had our annual Thanksgiving tree, and the grandkids
did a wonderful job decorating it. What was designed to be a small gumdrop tree held
construction-paper leaves that the kids had made. Everyone wrote things they are thankful
for on the front of the leaves and jotted their names on the back.
One by one we picked each colored leaf from our Thanksgiving tree and read what someone was grateful for. Then we guessed who wrote it. Whoever guessed the right person got to pick the next leaf
from the tree and read that blessing out loud.
Rita once asked in a Grand Connection comment what our grandkids wrote on their Thanksgiving tree leaves. Here's a partial list of what they said this year (in no particular order):
- Family
- My teacher
- God
- Plants
- Donuts
- Life
- Jesus
- My dog
- Friends
- Food
- Books
- Creation
- My turtle
- Love
What was your favorite Thanksgiving memory this year? Why not send your grandkids an email or text, and share it with them? Then ask them to share their favorite Thanksgiving memory with you.
Have a great weekend,

Those were wonderful values and gifts for which your grandchildren were thankful. My Thanksgiving memory is of our family visiting together and my receiving a note in the mail, attached to 6 brilliant maple leaves from an out-of-state married daughter. We never seem to forget those childhood adventures, one being the gathering of beautiful fall leaves and stringing them for decoration. Cherish those memories. Blessings, Rita
Rita, your daughter is so creative! What a great idea to mail you some maple leaves as a reminder of special family memories.
