Thanksgiving
Posted by grandpopswalt on Tuesday, November 23, 2004 11:45 AM
Ladies and gentlemen,

This is not a poll but an open question. What are you thankful for?

I'll start by saying I'm thankful for two wonderful grandsons and their moms and dads and for my loving wife of 37 years. I'm thankful for good health, good friends and the Boston Red Socks. I'm also very thankful for the privelege of living in a free counrtry where hard work and smarts usually pay off. I'm thankful to have the time and resources to be able to participate in this great hobby of ours and to correspond with so many really fine folks on this forum.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I/m thankful to be in reasonably good health for my age so that I can enjoy all the other blessings in my life......including model trains and the people in this great hobby.

Walt, its a deeper question and cant be answered that easily.

I'm one of those guys who's a bit carefull about stating why I'm thankfull for certain things and risk jinxing the whole thing....suffice to say,

...Yes, I am Thankfull this year.

   Have fun with your trains
