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 color=000030 face=arial size=2>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!

SMILES

Verse:
Dear -ie, now I know just what makes me love you so,
Just what holds me and en -folds me in its gold -en glow;
Dear -ie, now I see 'tis each smile so bright and free,
For life's sad -ness turns to glad -ness when you smile on me;

Chorus:
There are smiles that make us hap -py,
There are smiles that make us blue;
There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops
As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;
There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing
That the eyes of love a -lone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine
Are the smiles that you give to me.


Okay...sing-along time!!! (unless your freeping at work!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are smiles that make us hap -py,

There are smiles that make us blue;

There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops

As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;

There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing

That the eyes of love a -lone may see,

And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine

Are the smiles that you give to me.

Thank you - yes I do miss especially as we get towards Christmas and the New Year she "saw the new year in" with me last year because dad was in hospital.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, All.

Just dropped in to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

[snugs]

One night dad woke up in the middle of the night and turned over and felt Gizzy and was quite shocked because she had climbed into his bed and was resting her head on the pillow and was under the bed clothes

[snugs]

How are you Amy? Long time no speak - Happy Thanksgiving
love
Eleanor

Here is a picture of my Kitty.

Hi everybody. Thanks for the lovely thread, dutchess - and the graphics are beautiful.

Happy to see you, Amy!

"I'll lend you for a little time a dog and cat of mine" He said.
"For you to love while they live and mourn for when they're dead."
It maybe six or seven years or maybe more than these,
but will you, till I call them back, take care of them for me?
They'll bring their charm to gladden you, and should their stay be brief,
you'll have their memories, as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise they will stay, since all from earth return,
but there are lessons taught down there, I want this dog and cat to learn.
I've looked this wide world over, in my search for teachers true,
and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give them all your love, nor think the labor vain,
nor hate me when I come to call, and take them back again?

I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord, thy will be done,"
for all the joy thy dog and cat shall bring, for the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter them with tenderness, we'll love them while we may,
and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for them,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.

Cute thread, dutchess.

[pcottraux]

Thank you.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I forgot to add:

Feel free to ping me.

[JustAmy]

Hi Snugs.

I've been away for awhile. I had knee surgery and am now starting to get my stamina back. Hopefully, I will be here more now.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Victoria. Nice to see everyone tonight.

Had to stop in and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

How has your week been? Did you get the entire week off?

I love your poem; it is perfect.

[pcottraux]

Will do.

[Victoria Delsoul]

So good to see you, Amy! I miss ya friend.

I worked this week but I have tomorrow and Friday off.

How are you doing, and how's Marissa doing? I bet she enjoys school.

[WVNan]

Glad you're feeling more chipper Amy. I too am just dropping by to say........

....

to everyone.

"I love your shower curtain, Colleen, and Lucy looks remarkably pretty. :-)"

Thank You, Victoria

"I'll lend you for a little time a dog and cat of mine" He said."

Sweet, sad poem. Sad that our furry friends have such a short time here on earth with us. Back to baking pies....

[deadhead]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Nan :-)

[deadhead]

"I've been away for awhile. I had knee surgery and am now starting to get my stamina back. Hopefully, I will be here more now."

Get Well Prayers for you, Amy

[JustAmy]

I'm feeling pretty good, Victoria. Still get a little stiff so I need to keep riding that exercise bike and doing my other exercises. They are working.

Marissa loves school. She brought home two awards today .... one for citizenship and the other for perfect attendance for the first quarter. She missed 3 days this quarter while I was in the hospital.

I need to spend some time with her this weekend on her spelling words. Spelling words??? In kindergarten? :) She brought home two tests .... she missed one word on one test and two words on the other.

Are you looking forward to December 7th as much as she is? :)
