For Dwayne, Thanksgiving is all about the table. The setting, the food, the conversation, the energy.
Dwayne has fond memories of helping his mother set elaborate tablescapes complete with harvest inspired centerpieces and handmade seating cards per guest. In the kitchen with her expertise is where he discovered his love of baking, especially her pecan pie which has become a staple at his Thanksgiving table. Sometimes, the preparation that goes into the meal itself is where those everlasting memories are made! Plan to video chat with loved ones throughout the process and make it even more interactive by tackling tasks simultaneously. Set a recipe or centerpiece display so each household can make their own. While gathering may be limited, we can still connect with our would-be guests to keep traditions alive.
