Post a picture of something you are thankful for this Thanksgiving

[begin_within]

I'm thankful for every cat in the world, of any species, breed or size.

[lukasahero]

1. Lots of things but right now, just one comes to mind:

[Mutley]

2. My sister

(The older kid.) She's done a LOT for me in the last few months. I'm not sure how I would've made it through without her. :loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

3. Them

Always. They are the only things that keep me going.

[crim son]

6. Awfully cute!

Who's the portrait artist?

[BarenakedLady]

13. Some hack.

;-)

[crim son]

17. You? n/t

[BarenakedLady]

23. Indeed.

My kids are about 3 years older than in that portrait. It took me about that long to finish it. LoL. Quick I am not.

[crim son]

25. You did an excellent job!

The parallels continue... I draw but never use color; or better said, I once drew until it became so frustrating as to send me into a depression. I don't draw any more. So how old exactly are the kids?

[BarenakedLady]

27. 9, 6, and 4

The youngest will be 5 in December.

And thanks for the compliment. I stopped drawing for awhile, but recently started up again. My writing has stopped entirely for the past couple of years (very frustrating).

[livetohike]

28. Beautiful kids! And I envy your talent BarenakedLady

:-)

[BarenakedLady]

29. Thank you

:blush:

[Guava Jelly]

[BarenakedLady]

47. Thank you

:)

[GOPisEvil]

33. Awwww....

...that's nice work. You have lovely children. :)

[BarenakedLady]

34. Thank you

They may look lovely but they are hellions...just like their Momma! :evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

35. That's the nice thing about portraits.

;)

[crim son]

4. I'm thankful for my three kids.

Seriously thankful!

[livetohike]

12. Such a beautiful family crim son!

I love their smiles :-).

[crim son]

19. That's kind of you.

I like their smiles too! My daughter's is relatively rare these days.

[livetohike]

22. I have teen aged nieces

I know what you mean.

[BarenakedLady]

14. Wow

What georgeous children you have!

[crim son]

21. They think so!

Kidding. Everybody thinks their own kids are beautiful, so I must agree with you. And thanks!

[graywarrior]

51. OMG, they're beautiful

[crim son]

64. Thanks, graywarrior!

Naturally, I think they're a fine-looking bunch, but it's very nice of you to say so too! :pals:

[Shine]

73. Great lookin' kids, crim son!

you have a beautiful family.

[crim son]

80. That's very dear of you to say, Shine.

Thank you!

[taterguy]

5. Natural beauty

[crim son]

10. Darnit, taterguy. I was hoping to see a photo of you!

:hug:

[taterguy]

I ain't that beautiful

But here's a pic since you asked

[crim son]

31. You really look rather beautiful to me.

Quite outdoing the scenery, in fact. :loveya:

[livetohike]

16. This picture reminds me how much I miss canoeing!

:-). If we get this house sold, we are moving back East and I will probably change my DU name to "livetocanoe".

[livetohike]

7. My hiking partners and the good health to keep on hiking

[begin_within]

18. Where is that? SW Arizona near the CO river?

[livetohike]

20. It's off the beaten path in Joshua Tree National Park (CA)

Luckily a couple of friends were with us and one took this photo.

[begin_within]

38. That was what I was going to ask originially, but I didn't see any Joshua trees.

[IronLionZion]

8. My freedom, and the guy in my sig

and renewed faith in democracy in this country.

[av8rdave]

9. My kids

My son (with g/f) and daughter

[MissMillie]

26. me too

here I am w/ my son at Easter.

[av8rdave]

49. Nice looking boy!

Mom looks great as well

[Haole Girl]

11. My family...

[Bunny]

15. My two baby girls:

:loveya:

:loveya:

[lizziegrace]

24. Lelapin and all the joy she's brought to my life

[Shine]

74. Precious picture!!

:loveya:

[nosillies]

30. My sweet baby, even though he won't let me hug him anymore

And the baby who will be here soon -- but I won't gross anybody out with the 4-D ultrasound pictures, as they're slightly creepy.

[crim son]

32. Will he let me hug him?

Because I wanna. He's adorable.

[nosillies]

37. No, he's just rotten!

I pin him down and squeeze him while he screams. I don't care, I have to have my fix every now and then! And where does a two-year-old learn to wipe kisses away? He does it without even thinking. Rotten, I say.

BTW, yours are precious, also!

[crim son]

42. Thanks!

My youngest son was like that for a while. Then he got to the stage where he'd spread his arms to hug me and his sister and he'd say, "I love the goyls!" Now he's just a lover though with a feisty side. Maybe your son will go through the same stages. I hope so; they're so much work and a mother's greatest reward is the smile and embrace of a happy child, IMHO.

[GOPisEvil]

36. That I have one of these.

My humble abode. :)

[BarenakedLady]

39. Knock Knock

Can I come in...

:hi:

Oh wait, you are contagious. Nevermind.

:spank:

[GOPisEvil]

40. You can wear a surgical mask.

Or, just visit when I'm not playing "Typhoid Mary". :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

41. Well I am a nurse....

Ok, not really.

But I do have the outfit...:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

43. I can be quite the difficult patient.

In fact, I may need to be restrained. :evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

44. Oh that can be arranged...

Oh yeeeessssssss, that can be arranged. :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

45. Well...you know what the house looks like...

I'm waiting! :rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

53. I should be there in about

....crap that is a long way...

[zanne]

57. Me too, GOPisEvil.

We had a hard year, with my mom in her last terrible year of Alzheimer's disease and us not knowing where we were going to live when she passed on. With my family's help, we were able to buy her house, the one we've been living in for 27 years. Even though it'll just be me, my husband and four monkey-cats, we'll have a good Thanksgiving.

[derby378]

48. No picture, but...

John Conyers as head of the House Judiciary Committee.

[begin_within]

68. Wow!

[schmuls]

63. For all the good people on our planet, who in spite of everything

keep marching on with smiles on their faces. They make life worth living. For the memory of my dear life partner, who passed away last February. He was my rock. (I love you Jim). For my friends who astound me everyday with their kindness and compassion. My relatives who have helped me in the grieving process. For Jim's sister especially, who is now the sister I never had. For my brother's ex-girlfriend and children, for she is now my sister too and her children are intelligent, gentle people. And last but not least, the one who started this thread so we could share.
