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.

Cats Sleep Anywhere

Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair.
Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge.
Open draw, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do.
Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks.
Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.

Eleanor Farjeon (1881 - 1965)

Tribute to the Dog

One who posses beauty without vanity,
Strength without insolence,
Courage with ferocity,
And all the virtues of man without his vices,
This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery
If said of a human,
Is but a just tribute to my dog.

~~Lord Bryon

[MEG33]

Cute poem!

[MEG33]

LOL! Thank for the cute picture!

[snugs]

My greyhound who we had to have put down at the beginning on the year was almost human how she used to lay on the sofa.

She also used to get into bed with the covers over her

[DollyCali]

I love this pix of your baby. I am sure you miss her.

[DollyCali]

So much love, it's overwhelming.

so true PC.. they give so much & demand so little (as different from many people)

[DollyCali]

NEAT, NEAT, NEAT pix!

Is Maddie a yellow lab? I am not too knowlegeable on dog breeds.

Love the wide open spaces pix.. great. I need to work one up to post here.. but for now...

here is one for tomorrow

did you see the why dog bite thread?

[El Gato]

This is Mortimer, we got him about 8 weeks ago. This picture was taken the next day. He was about 9 weeks old then

He was about 9 pounds then, now he's over 12. He's half standard Schnauzer and half Catahoula Spotted Leopard Dog. His general shape seems to be Schnauzer, his coloration (and tail) Catahoula.

[El Gato]

I forgot about the eyes. Those are characteristic of the Catahoulas. It's a little spooky, isn't it.

[ST.LOUIE1]

My gosh, every thread you do is better than the last one. These photos are almost as cute as *you*.

You really do a wonderful job with the pet thread, lots of work involved, more than just posting graphics. : )

You know, wolfie is a 'pet'. : )
