A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Two Weeks 'til Christmas (Eve) - Everyone Smile!

[dansangel]

I love the festive dancing birds. I'm glad that you updated the chorus line (((((Billie))))))).

Hope you have a wonderful and restful weekend after the *busy* one that you had last week.

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Billie.

[Aquamarine]

This new hostess graphic so so cute. lol

Lots of work to do today but glad I stopped in long enough to see that graphic, gets my day off to a good start.

[SpookBrat]

Are those little birds Chickadees? I haven't seen them since we moved from Texas. I guess they are here some where, but we used to get so many of them back in Texas. I loved feeding and taking care of my little friends. *sniff*

Blessings to you today.

[Billie]

I love those silly little birds, too, and I think it's the third 'version', just because I think they are sooooooo cute! I can't make myself change Dansy's, Lori's, or my words, though! :)

Have a great weekend, everyone. :)

[Billie]

Morning, Aeronaut - neat plane - is that 'yours' - or one like you actually fly?

[Billie]

Are those little birds Chickadees?

Hi, Spookie, I think they may be - not sure, but they're the cutest, sweetest little things, aren't they? :)

Thank you for your sweet post and blessings right back to you.

[Aeronaut]

neat plane - is that 'yours' - or one like you actually fly?

I am investigating procuring a couple of new airplanes for Operations. This is currently the leading candidate.

[Mama_Bear]

G'mornin', Billie.

You have a great weekend too!

Sounds like a fun and interesting 'investigation'. :)

[Texagirl4W]

Good morning, Billie. You gals and Guy are just too much. Hope you have a great weekend.

[Aeronaut]

Oh yeah! One of the planes I looked at was the TBM 700 - list price 2,770,000.

[Billie]

You gals and Guy are just too much.

We used to use these kinds of hostess graphics more often - one problem is that over the 2 1/2 years we've been here, our lineup has changed a little and some of the older graphics are outdated. I've reworked a few of them more than once because the characters are too cute to give up. :)

Is your sister doing as well as she should be after her surgery this week?

[tuliptree76]

Cute picture! I hope you have a great weekend, Billie. :-)

[Temple Owl]

Great looking covey. Good morning all.

[Billie]

Hi, Lori - not used to seeing you this early on your *off-posting* days. :)

[LadyX]

On last night's thread, Texagirl had wonderful news about her sister's condition. Although it was a tense situation that came close to a different outcome, God heard the prayers of many!

"The short story is, thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Even though she faces another surgery, we are optimistic she will make a full recover. What can I say except that you are the finest and will never know how much I appreciate all of you. ((( ALL )))"

It was too good to be missed there, so I brought it over for more to share, Texagirl.
We know full well -- and feel -- the power and effectiveness of the prayers given in such situations, as we go through them.

His healing touch enables us to endure all things, placing them in His hands ---

[Mama_Bear]

Hi, Lori - not used to seeing you this early on your *off-posting* days. :)

LOL. I know. I thought it would give you surprise if I popped in this early. :-)

Now I must pop back out. TTYL, Sistah.
