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!
~ Billie, dansangel, dutchess, Mama_Bear ~

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review the features of the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello there now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. ~ Billie

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Saturday ! The first day of Summer !!

79 degrees as I post this, headin' for around 93 today.

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Mama.

[lonestar]

Good morning!

If it gets any hotter down here, it's going to be a long, hot summer!

[jwfiv]

Good morning, Mrs. Bear...)

Tomorrow is the first day of summer? I was a day early in my calculation...but, that's OK, I'm in no hurry.

Wishing you, and all our Hostesses, and all the Finest, a very fine weekend.

Hmmm...might be a good day for a barbecue:

[MeekOneGOP]

I thought that today was the first day of Summer and tomorrow is the first FULL day of Summer. Could have heard it wrong on the radio yesterday, though.

Like you say, though, who's rushing it?, LOL !

HOT in Dallas today!

[jwfiv]

Hey, Meekie...I still think of summer beginning on Memorial Day, ending on labor day...it's a state of mind...)

[MeekOneGOP]

That's about right. That pretty much defines 'boating' season. It begins Memorial Day.

I went Thursday with a buddy to Melissa, Texas to haul his boat back to his house. Melissa is about halfway between Dallas and the Oklahoma state line. He hasn't used it in about 5 years or so. But I bet we're up on skis sometime next week !! :O)

[ValerieUSA]

Did someone say sodas?

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Mrs. Bear...)

Well, it was a better day before I found out that the first day of summer is TODAY not tomorrow! You are right, and, would you believe I even checked the calendar and still got it wrong? This should make Thin Man's day, for sure! LOL!

That barbecue looks yummy. Think I'll go get something to throw on the grill. :-)

Have a good 'first day of summer'. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

What a cutie!

[Mama_Bear]

I thought that today was the first day of Summer and tomorrow is the first FULL day of Summer. Could have heard it wrong on the radio yesterday, though.

Did you actually hear that? This is good to know, it means I wasn't 100% wrong. ;-)

Getting hot down your way Meekie? Bet it's humid too. I love hot weather, but I can't take the humidity. When we went to Florida in July for our son's graduation from boot camp, at 9:30 in the morning it was only 80 degrees, but the humidity was awful! Never been so miserable. I guess it's something you need to adapt to.

Beautiful picture.

A pastor was giving the children's message during church.
For this part of the service, he would gather all the
children around him and give a brief lesson before
dismissing them for children's church.

On this particular Sunday, he was using squirrels for an
object lesson on industry and preparation. He started out by
saying, "I'm going to describe something, and I want you to
raise your hand when you know what it is." The children
nodded eagerly.

"This thing lives in trees (pause) and eats nuts (pause)..."
No hands went up. "And it is gray (pause) and has a long
bushy tail (pause)..." The children were looking at each
other, but still no hands raised. "And it jumps from branch
to branch (pause) and chatters and flips its tail when it's
excited (pause)..."

Finally one little boy tentatively raised his hand. The
pastor breathed a sigh of relief and called on him. "Well,"
said the boy, "I *know* the answer must be Jesus... but it
sure sounds like a squirrel to me!"

Mama_Bear, perhaps, operates on Goldilocks Time
there on the West Coast!
You're correct, though, in saying Summer is a State of Mind, jw,
and can be celebrated any time we choose..:))

As for me (LadyX in Wonderland),
"I'm late! I'm late!
I'm late for a very important date!!"
