thanks

I'm quite certain that we need to give thanks way more than once a year! Thanks for apprentice plumbers and coaches. Thanks for grandkids, even when they're busy elsewhere. Thanks for listening hearts. Thanks for electricians, photographers, carpenters, seamstress, roofers, techies, planners, cooks, nurses, drivers, painters, welders, mechanics, and all the other myriad of people who help out. Thanks for the plethora of those people in our family! Thanks for those who work with their hands, those who work with their minds, and those who need to throw their whole body into the effort. Special thanks for those who encourage us when we need a lift, challenge us when we become complacent and see our inherent goodness even when we can't!

I emptied the closet and tore it down today. Then I discovered that the shower I had planned won't fit. However, after a little more shopping, I found one approximately the same size that takes less room because of the door. I still need to stud with 2X2s instead of 2X4s, but it will work.

I also finished the shelves for the other wardrobe today and got all of the pillows, blankets, sheets and pillows put away. I'm quite happy with it and now I just need to get the doors on...but that's a project for another day.

Special thanks to someone. Love, elly
