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!

Billie, that is just beautiful, what a wonderful gift. Thank you! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

Hi, stopem, thank you. I'm so glad you like it, and thank YOU for the pretty sparkling patriotic ornament!

[Billie]

I need to run a couple of errands. Back later this evening.

[Billie]

Hi, Kitty - so happy you like your ornament. You're such a sweetheart!

[Diver Dave]

...How old? :)

Must be all of two, maybe three years old. :)

[Billie]

That is beautiful! Thank you Billie!

Thank you, LadyJag - it was my pleasure to make these fun ornaments. Thank YOU for my shiny personalized one!

[Billie]

MY ... you have been busy! This is lovely, Billie! Thank you for the new ornament and the beautiful thread.

Yes, I have been busy, but these are fun to do, and I've had some time to do them! Do need to run to the bank now before it closes! YIKES!

Enjoy your dinner this evening. Hope to see you back later tonight.

[Aquamarine]

Awww, how pretty. Thanks! :)

Hazelnut pound cake? That must be the one I make with hickory nuts. This is one of those off years for hickory nuts so I won't be making one this year.

[Aquamarine]

Hope everyone can take a few moments out of your busy schedule to watch this. It's VERY peaceful.

A Silent Night

Just now getting back to my pings. So good to hear from you today, Colleen. Lucy loves the camera, I believe!

[Billie]

Hi, Old Grumpy - too many good things to eat during this time of the year - too many Open Houses and parties and how in the world can anyone "just say no" to all those goodies! :)

[Billie]

Conor, that's such a beautiful snow scene - looks COLD! but so beautiful!

[Billie]

Great thread and Pledge, Billie!

Thank you! Today has been sorta a "girl thing", with all the pink and pearls and stuff. :)

[Billie]

WOOHOO.... a new "billie" ornament original!!!!

Lovely and thank you, Sistah. You must have been busy making everyone's creations. I know you enjoy it & once on a roll, well, just keep a going & a going. I am sure this will be a lovely thread. And what a delicate & beautiful opening table.

Thanks, Dolly. :) Glad you like your ornament and thanks, too, for the compliment on the opening - very late posting this morning, because I hadn't even started it until after 8 this morning when I got up! Guess I should have concentrated more on that yesterday than the ornaments, huh? :)

I am having Christmas dinner/movie(Rocky Balboa) with friend who will out of town for weekend but will make sure to stop by tonight to see all the additions.

Hope you can. :)

Need to do doggie walk now & then chiropractor & mail my package to my brohter/family. You might think this is late, but it is actually the first time I am getting his stuff out before the new year, in well...MANY years.

Well, that's one way to make sure YOUR gift stands out - just make sure it doesn't get opened with the rest of the presents! :)

[Billie]

Great thread Billie. Merry Christmas to all of you. Dub

Thank you, Dub. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Evening Billie.

Thank you for the gorgeous ornament.

Merry Christmas.:)

[Billie]

That ornament is so pretty and I am a pastel girl. The color is just right for me.

I'm so glad I chose well. :) Thank you, and for your mail, too. Always good to hear from you - hope you are doing well, and your sister, too.

[Billie]

I didn't notice before those delicate, swirling snowflakes, Billie! I'm glad you enjoy doing this; it's very pretty..:)

Thanks again, Dita. I did have fun making the Christmas gif(t)s this year - maybe more than last year. :)

[Billie]

Everyone done with your shopping? I am debating running the plastic up a little more since there are some good sales at Macy's and I have some coupons.

Yep! All done - usually finish by at least the 15th, so that the last few days I can sit back and enjoy everything more. :)

[SheLion]

Thank you, SheLion - hope you're looking forward to a beautiful Christmas!

Oh Billie!  Thanks SO much for the gorgeous Christmas Bulb.  I have saved it and will use it and treasure it!

[Billie]

Thanks for helping pretty up our threads every day, Maj! Great Christmas graphics today!
