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!

Oh, Lakeside, I've missed you, and didn't hear about the trip to see your son and his wife and precious granddaughter.

As for ,

at 8 and 9 I didn't look like her, but I really DID have the huge pithecolobium tree and tree house on a platform, with thick sturdy vines for swinging down.

(It was glorious to be the only little girl in the neighborhood and not have to share the role..:))

[JulieRNR21]

So glad I just happened to stop by to check on the Finest!

What a darling and much deserved tribute to our dear LadyX!

I may not get here as often as I'd like but I think of you all very often. My darling Richard has been having a health problem but he's making a good recovery. Please keep him in your prayers.

With hugs to all the Finest!

[LadyX]

So glad to see you here regularly, tulip tree, fitting right in and adding so much!

[Flyer]

Hey, Maggie, Gilligan and I are missin' ya!

Gilligan missed you so much he switched his BadDogCam to Fox News to see if you were over there.

It is a joy to see you here so often lately, Freezie!
The Finest has a huge hole when you are absent no one else can fill with your inimitable style --

"dansy...we'll be in Mebourne and thought maybe we could connect but have a very tight schedule."

How I wish you had seen Melbourne when I moved there in November 1943!
No way you would recognize it, with about 5,000 residents, and the now Ruth Henegar Art Center on New Haven Avenue was where I spent grades 4 through 6 in the middle building, and 7 through 12 in the one on the east end. The 3rd one housed the cafeteria and storage.)

ALL students from the Sebastian River to halfway to Cocoa, and west to the St. John's River went to that one school!

Our school song went: "On the city's western border --" -- LOL

Ruth Henegar was my 9th grade Algebra teacher, and later, the high school principal!

[LadyX]

Oh, Freezie, thank you for the lovely writing.
I am so very blessed to have The Great Physician in charge,
and being among the wonderful Finest Family Folks.

[Billie]

Awwwww, we've got the singingest cutest li'l animals here! Thanks, Colleen, and thats such a cute squirrel and sweet 'verse'!

[LadyX]

What a sweet graphic, Amy!

** LadyX's heart is all aflutter at the thought of JustFrank making an appearance!! **

[Billie]

Door's always open to come in out of the cold. :)

[humblegunner]

What a great thread today!

I'm sadly out of the loop, where IS LadyX?
I heard a rumor about her working on a film in Japan, but I thought it was a lot of hooey!

[Billie]

Weather's nice here in Texas - when we do get snow, it's usually gone the next day. :)

[LadyX]

**LadyX waves to the back of Brad's Gramma leaving the scene.**
(mutters, "You dirty rat --" ..:))

[Diver Dave]

Diver Dave, you are everyone's **anchor** while we plow through the stormy **seas** of life..:))

Well I don't know about that, Auntie M, but I do know this...

...My Anchor Holds
and Grips the Solid Rock

His Name is Jesus
Yes, He's the One
His Name is Jesus
the only One

Be Very sure
be very sure
Your Anchor Holds
and Grips the Solid Rock

Now, it is my prayer that the tune and words will fill the minds and hearts of all who visit the Finest.

Also want to again tell you how much I enjoyed our chat last month. Let's do it again soon.

[Billie]

Thanks, Julie - it's always good to hear from you - prayers for your husband's full recovery. We know you're 'out there' - you keep our mailboxes warm, sometimes *hot*, with all the great links you send. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Flyer! Hoped you'd stop in today. :)

[Billie]

Can't believe it's actually warmer in Dallas today than Houston! :)

[LadyX]

Thank you for posting that photograph from Christmas Day 1956 with my two sweet little boys, then 2 1/2and 1 1/2!!

That Bigger Boy, Steve, was here at Christmas -- the Younger Boy, Kevin, will be here this Friday for the weekend, along with their Little Sister and Family.

By the way, that dress was red and black-striped taffeta, once my sister Carolyn's long Christmas Dance dress in 1946...I inherited it and made the hem midcalf length, just right for Christmas Day...

It is my pleasure, thank you.
