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!

Hey Daisy Mae here. I was out sniffin around for rabbits when I noticed This Space For Rent billboard. Hmmmm...evidently JohnHuang2 and mom are both on vacation today (along with a few other regulars).

Since this space is up for grabs and Dog Days are over I guess it's time for me to do a little work in here in place of Aquamarine.

Now Weinie would have been here to help me out if she hadn't had to go to a better place so soon and Gizzy, well, he's just been layin down on the job (sez he's on vacation again).
Meanwhile I've been sittin here scratchin my head trying to figure out what The Finest crew would enjoy the most and knowing how much you all love being served breakfast AND luv Dubya I thought the perfect post would be for President Bush to come by and fix some breakfast for The Finest family this morning.

He seemed to know how much everyone at The Finest adores him and was happy to take a few moments out of his important campaign schedule to come by and fix some pancakes for us all! Yeah!!!

OK....so he cooks like a guy....that's a good thing! :)

Seriously folks, we need this man in the Whitehouse for 4 more years so PLEASE be sure to tell everyone that you know to get out there and vote this November!

Now I'm going back to what I do best, chasin rabbits and smellin flowers.

Anyway....
That's just my two cents worth ~ Daisy Mae

XOXOXO

Oh yum! :) Atkins lover's nightmare?

I taught PE & biology for quite a few years. I wish I had saved 'selected" tests/papers for this reason. good book material.

[Gabz]

I bet.............especially the biology!

[Aquamarine]

They look great here! Thanks for bringing them over.

In the first pick it looks like she's kissing the kitty and the kitty feels the love. So sweet.

[Aquamarine]

Good Mornin Dolly. A cool day up north, that sounds about right...hope the suns out. It's not here, we're getting torrential rainfall from the feeder bands off of Bonnie.

[Aquamarine]

Sounds more like the recipe for blueberry filled donuts. lol
Surprised she went so light on the sugar.

[Gabz]

Actually I think the only thing those kitties were feeling was being squeezed - they look to me like they all want to be ANYWHERE but being so lovingly hugged!!!

lol Maybe a little bit of both.

The whole "cookbook" is an absolute riot and I never tire of re-reading.

It's easy to tell which of the children spend time in the kitchen with mom or dad and which don't.

God Bless Our Military ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

That's an awesome list.


I've got to scoot for a while - time to go get Jax from bible School and run some errands.

WBB later!!!!

[Mama_Bear]

What a clever post for today! Daisy Mae is precious (and a great hostess in a pinch too!), your background is one of the prettiest I've seen, and having the President come by to fix us breakfast is such an honor! He has my vote! Everything about your post today made me smile. :-)

[LadyX]

You've become so good at your presentations, Aqua, and this ad lib one excels in every way!
Great of GW to flip the pancakes for us..:))

[Aquamarine]

Thanks Mama Bear. :) I had fun with this one, just wish I could write better, was able to hide that a little behind the dog talk.

Glad you liked the background. The whole thing was built around the last pic with Daisy smelling the wisteria.

[LadyX]

Hi! My nme is Barney,
and I'd let you play ball with me, Daisy Mae - -

[Aquamarine]

ROTFL!
I'm not sure if Lil Abner is her type. She does seem to be lonely but gets a little aggressive whenever other dogs get in her space. She fits in well at The Finest since she loves people so much.

I'll have her take a look at him though whenever she comes back in for her treat. lol

[Aquamarine]

Another suitor hmmmm...he's cute too.

PS...the letter thief got your a. *snicker*

"Love your enemies, . . . and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. — Matthew 5:44"

I once had a very bad work situation where my boss, a truly evil man, was targeting me, all the cards in his favor.
Rather than rant against him and fight, I joined with a good Christian friend there to employ the power of prayer over and for him.

We asked the Lord to intervene, totally yielding it all to Him.
While he was not softened and changed the last time I saw him, the "impossible" situation was resolved in the 11th hour, entirely in my favor, and he was stunned to be left to cope without me..:))

Our God Reigns !!!

[The Thin Man]

Well done, Daisy Mae. I just hope it's not too upsetting to the hostesses to realize that you, a dog, in her first attempt, was able to create a presentation as good as theirs. LOL!

[Aquamarine]

Well thanks TMan but to be honest I have to admit that Aqua did come in and help a little bit.
