gogo Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 This year, I'm going to go big with just one "thankful-for": I'm thankful for all the years that I had with the best dad in the world. Feel free to be a bit more light-hearted with yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I've got a photo just like that, and I am thankful for all the years I had with my dad too. Lost him two years ago at age 60, still miss him every day. I also am thankful for my wife, and for our first little bundle of joy that's joining the world on or around January 5th. I'm thankful for Anchor Steam beer, pecan pie, my family and my friends, all of which/whom I shall enjoy during the next several days. I'm thankful to have a job that I love, an abundance of great music to provide a soundtrack to every day, a couple of guitars to noodle around on, and for all you fine strangers on this here community, for the laughs, the heated debates, the confusing moments, the lovefests and the flat-out joy of being a fan of this incredible band.

smells like flowers Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Congrats on the impending arrival, choo-choo! Tonight I'm grateful for the chianti that has me feeling warm and fuzzy, for the fact that my almost 8-year-old daughter loves vintage Bugs Bunny cartoons as much as I do (Leopold!), and for the fact that I have the next five days off to cook, eat, and maybe listen to this summer's Charlottesville show on sooutoftune.org! Happy Thanksgiving to all of y'all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have a wife who still loves me after over 2 decades together, two awesome smart & athletic kids who love me more than I deserve, and a job that I mostly enjoy and pays me well. My life isn't perfect by any means but I've got a ton to be thankful for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thankful for a healthy pregnant Mrs. Legthigh, and Winston Jr, soon to enter the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm not a parent, but I'm a big fan of babies. Congrats on all the new arrivals (and the older "babies", too)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Also, how great are these pictures?? I love that you can tell that the photographers told the kids to look tough. I still worry about running into my niece (the one on the left) in a dark alley. My sister had that Ponderosa picture on her desk for years, and most of her co-workers had commented on how cute the kids were. One day my parents stopped in to her office to take her to lunch, and when they'd left, her paralegal said "you mean that guy in the picture is your dad?? I always thought he was part of the deal, we'll toss a grizzled old guy in to make it look legit!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Amaranthine Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Love the wild west family photos! I am thankful for my wonderful family. And for my husband and me being in relatively decent health lately, a good long spell for us both. And, on a minor scale, the lovely weather we are having in the plains today, right before the cold blast forecast for tomorrow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks everyone for the well-wishes on they baby, and congrats to the rest of you! These are such exciting times. I'll always treasure that old family photo -- that's me in the coonskin cap with the six-shooter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
