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; starting today our weekends will begin on Friday. 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. : )

The day is young, Missy....

[Brad’s Gramma]

Emma's ADORABLE!

I'm a Gramma For Hire, did you know that? :)

[LadyX]

"I'm a Gramma For Hire, did you know that? :)"

Yawn -- yeah, BG --
recall seeing it on WANTED: DEAD or ALIVE POSTERS
all over creation -- even suspect you put them up, now that
I think of it -- you just LUV attention , don't ya??

[LadyX]

Need to relinquish custody of the computer until later this evening...

Hope you baked a cake for yourself, Rus, and don't have to eat the one I baked for you!!
LOL

[WVNan]

Oh no sistah. That wasn't a vacation. That was necessary. I had to meet you. And the Fla. picture was also not a vacation. I lived there for pete's sake. And, why are you posting those "fat" pictures of me? You know I've lost 50 lbs since then. (We won't count the 10 lbs I put back on over holidays).

[WVNan]

The pictures her dad made look somewhat faded when posted over cyberspace. The print copies are bright and crisp. She is getting to be such a cutie.

[WVNan]

Gramma for hire sounds like a worthy occupation. Hummmmm maybe we could start a business?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Would you please come over here and offer your condolences to a Freeper (cedarswingman) who lost his grandson to SIDS? Thanks much.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Think about it! So many children! We have four arms between the two of us....we could hold & love LOTS of them!

[WVNan]

Done. Yep we could really be the "Rockin Grannies". I think we're on to something here.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I come real cheap.

And you?

[WVNan]

Well actually, I pay them for the privilege. Just yesterday I paid the friend who usually works for me, to work at my son's with me while his wife had her tonsils out. We took turns holding/playing with Emma and washing clothes, etc.

[Diver Dave]

thanks for the info and link, BG.

[Brad’s Gramma]

You're welcome, Dave. Thanks for the prayers.

Funny how these precious babes are able to wrap themselves around my little finger. Three daughters and now two grandsons. Always room for more, too.

[WVNan]

You got that right Dave. I never realized how much a grandchild could mean to me. I think when I had my children (with exception of the last one) I was so young and had them so close together, I didn't have time to think about how much I loved them. Of course I did love them, but that love was expressed in taking care of them. With Emma I just hold her close and bask in the love I feel for her. Ah, the luxury of being a grandma. Her Momma has most of the work.

She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed rolled her Jeep

Sorry to hear that, glad she's OK!

[Kitty Mittens]

My Lady, your Wonderful Posts always make me Smile! : )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUR HONOR!

[LadyX]

"I never realized how much a grandchild could mean to me."

Did'n I tell ya, Sistah?! Did'n I -- huh-huh??

My first grandchild was born to my second son, Kevin, who was stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii (for FAA training).

When he called in July 1978 to tell me he and his wife just had a son, I was living in Ohio, and so filled with ABSOLUTE JOY that I went out on the upper floor balcony off my apartment's living room, wanting desperately to at the top of my lungs SHOUT to The World:

"HEY, WORLD!-- I HAVE A CHILD OF MY CHILD!!!"

The exultation is indescribable, isn't it?

[LadyX]

Think of and pray for you often, Miss KM, and hope your house is coming along well -- selected the flooring/carpeting - kitchen cabinets - bathroom fixtures - etc.- yet?
