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. : )

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

Hi Free...Sweet calendar today. So have you finished a quilt yet???

[dutchess]

Hi ladtx....wonderful news about Jeff. You and Mrs. ladtax must be elated. Can't wait to hear about the homecoming. Pictures please!

[Billie]

Morning, Freezie!

Oops! "One small place of enchantment".....could be the Finest, couldn't it? :) But actually I agree with that bubble bath scene!

[dutchess]

What a lovely picture. Enchantment indeed. (BTW...your tagline is oh so true!)

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Dutchess.

[dutchess]

Hi Auntbee....thanks for stopping in...we enjoy seeing your smiling face :o)

[dutchess]

Hi Gail...you paint a beautiful picture of Memphis. I have visions of azela bushes! It's in the 60's here today....(with 50 degree winds!) although supposed to drop back to the 40's this weekend. My dafodils are just peeking out of the ground. I'm hoping we don't get a frost. Hugs to Rocky!

[Donaeus]

Goooood morning FReepers! The storms are all past and it is a beautiful day. :) Have a great day!

[Donaeus]

Many prayers have been answered! I know ya'll are all elated, especially Jeff, that he has returned to the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Welcome back, brother!

[Billie]

And since I count everyone here as "family and friends" it belongs here also.

I love that. :)

Am so excited for you and Mrs. Ladtx that Jeff will be home soon!

[ladtx]

Mrs ladtx just called. She finished calling both of Jeffs grandmothers to let them know he's back and they all had a good cry. I'll relay everyones good wishes. He knows he gets a lot of support from this website. Thanks again.

Good morning, Baynative. Thanks for visiting us today - that's quite a beautiful golf course!

[Texagirl4W]

Thanks for another beautiful post, and a happy Friday to each of you from the great North Texas area.

[Billie]

Good morning, Auntbee - thanks for your post today. I understand about just reading and not always posting - we're just happy to know you're here. :)

[Billie]

Morning, Gail - will answer your FReep mail from last night in a bit. Hope the budding trees there don't get zapped by a late freeze. Don't you love the flowers that bloom in the spring?

[Billie]

LOOOOVE those dogs! I do think I'd want to stay on the good side of Charque! That's quite a snarl!

[Billie]

Good morning, Mr. Owl! Hope you and Mrs. Owl and Ink all have a great weekend, too. :)

[Billie]

Morning, Meg, Thanks for stopping in today.

[Billie]

I know all who come here are as appreciative of the dedication of our hostesses and hosts as I am.

You're one of FR's Finest Treasures, Maggie. Most thoughtful and complimentary, you need to know how much we hostesses and hosts appreciate *you*. :)

[Billie]

Hi, there, Sistah dutchess! Thank you - we should have done this TGIF 'weekend' thread long ago! :)

Glad I could help with the monitor size thingie - I really hate that large screen resolution - everything looks too small on it since we size all our stuff for 800 x 600.
