A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-01,02-06....HALL OF FAME #16
July 01, 2006 | Billie

Posted on 07/01/2006 7:57:44 AM PDT by Billie



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!

Meg those begonia's are gorgeous! I once grew them each year.. but one year neglected to remove the bulbs in time for winter protection & never replaced them. They are gorgeous additions to a garden

Thanks meg. I took it yesterday on my doggie walk. I take them there two or more times a week. Josy loves to jump in lake & retrieve sticks.. Toby just plays "hippopatamus" & waddles around in shallow end.

I am going to put a red cape on Josy & get some stills & movies of her doing her superman leaps

Sun is out.. we had a couple hours of light rain

Get ready..I have more saved to post! They are beautiful.I found some pictures that don't need downsized ..something I cannot do on the clunker I am on right now. I was so happy I could even do a search!

I am learning how to get around some of the drawbacks and can open some of the pictures one at a time I want to see..This old dog is learning new tricks!

How cool! Yep, I come from a long line of proud Navy veterans; my dad was career Navy, my husband's father, career Navy. Two BIL's are Annapolis Naval Academy graduates. I have a Nephew serving in the Navy now in Afghanistan. Only one Nephew decided to be different and join the Army. He always did march to a different drummer, bless his heart. LOL.

Thanks Meg for the beautiful flowers you bring, you make this place pretty each day, and Maj, for the cute patriotic bears that showed up in my mailbox the other day. Hugs to you both.

I've always been real proud of our "Nukes". They are the cream of the enlisted crop...at least that is what my son was told when the recruiter convinced him to sign up. LOL
