Thank you to those with expertise, generously shared. Thank you to those with problems, candidly discussed. Thank you to those who post pictures, worth thousands of words; and to those who post words, worth reading and re-reading by current GWers and those who will search in the future. Thank you to those who are savvy enough to post multiple pictures, use photoshop, draw and redraw layouts, and to those who struggle with language and grammar but contribute here anyway. Thank you to those who are kind and encouraging to people in distress, and to those who are truthful and direct. Thank you to those who are funny, and those who appreciate the humor. Thank you to those who obsess over cabinet construction, color undertone, the temperature and CRI of lights, the properties of rocks, the heft of hardware, and the cost, ecological impact, durability, function, shape, cleaning, maintenance and ethics of purchasing things from floor adhesive to roof vent caps and everything in between. And thanks to those who realize these are first world problems and spend time helping those less fortunate. You are all important to this GW forum, and undoubtedly even more important to people you know IRL. I'm giving thanks to God for many blessings today, including all of you.

glenda_al, your son looks happy enough to pass for Parke Jr! I'm betting it's a good match. :) We'll be doing our usual trek out to my sister's place in Massachusetts..... always a traffic holdup at Thanksgiving, so will likely be a 5 hour+ drive. I have to finish getting packed and ready... She's a cooking/baking phenom so whatever I bring there will already be two or three of the same there. I'm keeping it easy on myself this year and just bringing cranberry sauce, gluten-free brownies, and lots of her favorite wine -- because they don't sell it in Mass! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (can't believe the holiday season has started already!!!!)

We had a great day and are still enjoying the long weekend! Thanks for the well wishes.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope I worked off enough calories gardening this summer to cover the upcoming feast.
