It's pretty amazing to have 4 generations in 2 families under one roof. Both my Grandparents and my Wife's Grandmother will be there along with our parents and some other family, then my kids make the 4th generation. Not hard to see what is important in life when you get family or friends together and truly be engaged with them. We repeat Thanksgiving on Saturday with a group of friends at a lake house...to cold for any lake activities but still a great setting for hanging out. Great couple days coming up.
As for what has been built, it's really just about giving a platform for great people to do great things. Happy what I thought would be a 2-3 week contest has turned into 33 weeks running. The heroes of PIFC are those that create entries and do the curating. That all said thank you for your gratitude, it's appreciated even if I'm deflecting (My Wife tells me I have a habit of doing that).
