More smiles, more stories
Good morning, and welcome back to the table.
Some of the best family memories start with something small. A question. A laugh. A story. A moment when everyone puts their phones down and just enjoys being together.
As Father’s Day gets closer, this week is all about connection. The kind that comes from playful conversation and appreciating the people who have shaped our lives in meaningful ways.
Today’s table is full of ways to create those moments. Now, pull up a chair and let’s begin.
Loud guesses, big reactions, and “Dad would totally say that!” moments. Play right from the post or grab the pdf game in the digital store to make it screen-free and ready by dinner.
TABLE WISDOM
“The shortest distance between two people is a smile.” — Victor Borge
Over 250 readers have played this week already!
Here’s a list that helps before Sunday.
What if this summer became the one everyone talks about?
These ideas are low-prep, high-memory, and ready to start this weekend. Here’s where to begin →
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK
Connect with a dad figure in your life.
(That could be your father, grandfather, father-in-law, or any man who has made a meaningful impact on your life.)
AFFIRMATION OF THE WEEK
The people who shaped me are my greatest gift.
MORE FROM THE TABLE
This week we’re doing something special. Reply to any email Monday through Thursday with one thing a father figure taught you about life or family. The responses will be shared in a special Friday edition.
It takes two minutes. And it might become the most meaningful thing you write all week.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
What is one lesson or memory from a father figure that still influences your life today? (Reply with your answer by Thursday, and it could appear in Friday’s special edition!)
WHAT’S TODAY?
Today is National Smile Power Day! Victor Borge said the shortest distance between two people is a smile. Research by Stanford says that simply posing your face into a smile boosts your mood.
Today is your official reminder to break out that beautiful smile whenever you can.
TABLE TALK
Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they play golf?
In case they get a hole in one!
