Feels like spring here on the left coast today...there's a little town in the mountains about an hour away, famous for it's apple pies...I think maybe I need to take a drive when the trees come to blossom.

Hi Dutchess.Mark Steyn inspired this one.It says so much about Kerry in one line!

[jwfiv]

Thank you, Miss Dutchess...spring's a comin'...I wish you a wonderful TGIF also...)

[MEG33]

I guessed apple trees because of the branches.I could use a slice of warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream!

Hi, y'all! Just droppin' by to say hello ;-)

Billie, Billie, Billie - - who'da thunk it, that nearly six years ago our friendship began in May of 1998 because of

"This Guy" !!

back in the FR Whitewater Daze - -
and, in particular, because of this little fella;

SocksC.underbed@whitehouse.gov

It all began when Socks C., Free Republic's pipeline to info on what was happening in the White House, overheard someone plotting his demise for being a snitch!

Poor soul fled and managed to get over to I-95 and head north...had all kinds of mishaps and loss of some of his nine lives, those hysterically funny threads going on and on as our imaginations turned on full force.

The Mastermind was the FR handler of Socks C., one Phil V. out in Califoria. He introduced me to Billie, 'vouching' for her, and she and I volunteered to provide Safe Havens for Socks C. should that become necessary.

That's as far as I'll go in this reply about our Extensive History - including the year and a half we spent as the Only Wimmin on Freeper Island..:))
With that, you would see Billie and me REdecorating the SOPAC Saloon, or in hula skirts, giving lessons at the Friday luaus.

Then there was the time when Susan MacDougal was on trial for *using* Nancy Mehtah's credit card. While no one was looking, I *borrowed* the card and Billie and I and a few others went out to lunch.

Those were the Best of Daze....

[JohnHuang2]

Great to 'see' ya, my friend :-)

[JohnHuang2]

Great to 'see' all of ya! :-)

[LadyX]

We're so glad you two Texas Wimmin have joined us here, along with all the Other Ones - Lonestar and MEG33 and ValerieUSA and of course Billie and transplanted SpookBrat come to mind.

[Billie]

Love that story, Dansy! Leave it to a Marine. :)

[LadyX]

You *somehow* knew I would appreciate that joke - how very perceptive!
LOLOL

And we're just so happy to be here, my friend. This is one thread that you can look at several times a day and always find something different and cheerful. [TGIF]

[Billie]

This is the best cyberhome away from home. :)

It takes all of us. :) Thank you for being one of 'us'!

[Billie]

Have seen but a few fruit trees blooming here yet - but it won't be long. I love the Redbud trees when they bloom - so pretty. Forsythia is bright and cheerful. :)

[Billie]

Afternoon, and oh, look at those trees! An apple orchard - beautiful! (I cheated - looked at the url, 'cause it's hard to tell one bloomin' fruit tree from another!)

[Billie]

ps- the picture is my back yard in Port Ludlow, Washington, gazing across the sound to Whidbey Island.

Well, what a view you have out your back yard! Simply gorgeous!

[Billie]

Hi, Mr. Two Cents - glad you did drop in! :)

[Billie]

Those were the Best of Daze....

:) There was a lot of hijacking going on in those daze. LOL!

[Mixer]

Donaeus....Thanks for the warm wishes.

Say Happy FReeper Anniversary to Mudboy Slim who joined 5 years ago today.
