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!

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[MEG33]

Murphy's been busy!
Hope you get tree,electrical problems and computer problems solved..

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Meg.

That basket of flowers is so refreshing and the frame is wonderful (as usual).

Thanks for always making the days brighter.

[MEG33]

Thank you , Amy...My internet connection is working..(crossing fingers) Hooray!

I went out and cut some more roses and jasmine today and felt inspired..It was wet outside from the rain but I managed a bouquet.

The kitties get into the flowers so I have a bathroom, door always closed.. that smells like jasmine and roses...I may bar the door and put some on my desk!

[JustAmy]

"When we approach the Lord in prayer,
We can come boldly to His throne;
His children come expectantly,
For grace and mercy will be shown.
—Sper

Good morning, Mayor. Thank you for bringing us the message every morning.

Hope you are having a happy Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

I think you should put some on your desk.

I have a couple of potted plants in my dining room. They need to be planted outside but I'm enjoying them while I have them in. The are not very fragrant but they are pretty. A begonia and an azalea .... hope they make it after I put them out. I'm looking for a place where I will be able to protect them next winter.

The heavy (for us) rain really played havoc with my daffodils yesterday. They look like a dog jumped into the middle of them. I have a few ranunculas with large buds so I'm hoping for some more color soon.

[MEG33]

Rain did trample down the blooms..but I managed to get enough. We had a few dutch iris that bloomed and some jonquils from my mother's house earlier this month ..(My daughter dug them up before we sold her house).

I love flowering plants in the house..I actually managed to keep an Azalea alive in my den years ago so that it bloomed a few blooms inside the next year..Had a lot of glass in that room..

I had an angel wing begonia that got so large in that same room that I laughed and said it was going to come down the hall and get us some night! The blooms were so beautiful..I got a cutting from a friend and have never found one like it again.

It is breathtaking to contemplate the fact that our prayers move heaven...but they do!
