A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Oct 22-23 -07....Military Tribute
Billie, The Mayor

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I have been including them here as I receive enough to make another collage.
I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
We have featured different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
Every Monday we post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day!

Good Morning :)
Great you are done with your house cleaning. It feels good to finish doesn’t it. I’m going to start painting the LR today. The kitchen has come out nice. It was a lot of work but worth it.

Beautiful weather we have been having here. Makes it difficult to stay in and paint ;).

46, Chilly. That’s funny, it’s cooler where you are than it is here. We had 70 yesterday and lower 60’s last night. It will be cooler next day or so.

Thanks. Have a terrific day Meg! :)

Hi all you dear Finest friends. I was at Lake Erie all day yesterday & had a nice time. The prior night however I did not sleep & so crashed hard when I got home.

Some mega problems on home front & so I will be not around too much for a bit — few days will try to check in quickly..

Love to you all & Love our country & our fine miltary!
