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 200,000 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.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY










Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

He's 65 pounds of pure energy, sweetness and love. Mostly we call him "White Dog" or "Baby Dog". LOL

Good morning, Billie! Very cute graphic of your "Baby Dog". We have four dogs here and they all made out like bandits this Christmas. Doggie toys EVERYWHERE! :-)

LOL - I hear that. :)

My tree(s) and decorations would be coming down today, except my Christmas guests are still here and more are coming tonight. So the decorations will have to stay put until the company clears out. Then they will be coming down pronto. LOL.

I knew you decorated early - and also 'undecorated' as early as I do normally. :) It's just I always want to get things back to normal as soon as possible - not to mention, Mr.B is soooooooo ready for his favorite things back on the mantle, etc. :)

My son talked me into installing Vista on it. Since I have all new hardware, there shouldn't be compatibility issues. He says 'service pack I' should be released soon and that will fix many of the little bugs that have popped up since Vistas' release. I am a little concerned about not being able to measure up to the learning curve required to learn a new OS. The older I get, the more resistant to change I have become. But, so far, so good. It looks to be similar to XP, just way more bells and whistles.

"Installing" Vista? So you bought it with XP and you're going to partition the drive, I think to have both? See, I didn't realize that Vista had so many compatibility issues either until I started putting my software on it - plus the only version of AOL that would work with Vista would only show compressed graphics, which are ugly and fuzzy. Otherwise, I found Vista to 'look' a lot like XP. I do hope the Service Pack will take care of a lot of the things I hate about Vista though. I think I told you that all of a sudden my XP computer started working like a charm ('after' I bought a new pc with Vista installed), so until Vista makes some more improvements it's just sitting in my cabinet - turned on only about once a week to download any updates that it may need. But one of my biggest complaints (and one that I read on many Vista forums) is that on top of everything else, Vista a HUGE HOG for memory. It has exactly twice the RAM and harddrive my XP has, but XP runs faster with more of my software programs installed than Vista did with fewer of them installed. Sigh! I do hope you like it better than I do.

Hi there, Libby! How nice to see you again. Hope you've had a good year, and a wonderful Christmas and looking forward to a great new year.

(Will be featuring the state of Washington soon, so hope you'll be looking for it and will share some of the places and things you hold dear to your heart)

We sure do! We had a house full this year....and though it was
wonderful, it’s now a time to breathe a sigh of “ahhhh...it’s over”. :D

We do miss our little Piper Jane, though! The house is too
quiet!

Hello dear Finest Friends..

First dutchess.. thinking of you Sistah & the difficult loss you have had over the Christmas holiday..

Not easy to lose dad ANYTIME.. but over Christmas somehow is a bit more edgy.

LOTS of movie attendance the past couple weeks. I am doing my regular reviews..

Billie, thanks for the delightful thread.. your graphics are always enjoyable

Lori - 4 DOGS??? wow.. Chachi must have had a ball. You are a good hostess to make people’s pets feel welcome. To me that is always important both ways.. for me to have MY HOME be a welcome spot & to KNOW my guys are welcomed elsewhere.

Just a quick comment on decorations coming down..

Mom & I decided we REALLY like the small twinkly lights. I put them (maybe 5 100’ strands) in her area & a few in mine. We are going to keep them up til... well, whenever. The tree will stay up til “whenever” also. It is a small -—— 4 foot -—— natural with pretty decor. We cut it ourself & so it is relatively fresh..

I didn’t do a whole lot of decor as I did NOT entertain here in my home & it was just for me & mom. The few friends who have seen it liked it .. but I do a LOT of holiday decor.. You would NOT believe what I have for Valentine’s day...

Thank you, Meg.....those are lovely flowers! Are they bleeding hearts or that other one?

I think I told you once that I have those Eastern bluebirds, didn’t I? I love them.......I am an equal opportunity “lover of birds”...!!

We will rush spring right on in!

Granddaughter just called and she and “our” new little addition, Addyson will be here in a minute! She was Kelly’s little girl that was in the wedding!

(((((Billie))))), your Ping Pic is Adorable! On the Christmas Tree Question, I'll Probably Leave mine Up until New Year's Day.
Thank you to Everyone for the Adorable Graphics I've Seen on the Thread. (((((Lori))))), it's Awesome that you Received a New Dell Laptop for Christmas! My Husband has a Dell, and it Seems to be a Very Good Computer.
Here's a Pic of a Cute Squirrel I Snapped 2 Days Ago Here at the King's Ranch:

I was writing that last note and telling you ‘they just called’....they got here before I finished typing that post.
Faster than the speed of light...LOL....Addyson’s presents from me were still here. She had to go to her Mom’s on Christmas Eve. They take turns.

She loved the things I bought her! (thank goodness)

Hi Kitty, I hope you had a wonderful visit with your Mom as I am sure you did!

You have some very good squirrel pictures. I was going to try and buy me a camera for Christmas and my son wanted me to wait until he could help me get one. He was afraid I would not get a good one. I told him how much I would pay and so we never got a chance to go before Christmas because we were all so busy!

Were you bitten by a squirrel? And what happened to you, did you get sick or what. Seriously, I would like to know. Did you have to go to the doctor and everything. I have a lot of squirrels in my yard and trees. I don’t get real close to them but when I have the peanuts in the shell, I will sit out there and they come to the edge of the patio where I throw them and of course, I love them and think they are cute!

I do believe they would come to my hand if I let them but I just throw them instead.

It was So Wonderful to See my Momma and Brothers and Sisters, and she Outdid herself with the Awesome Banquet she Prepared; she Makes the Best Dressing, Potato Salad, and Chocolate Pie! She is So Kind, Always Thinking of Ways to Please our Family, and Stays Up Real Late the Night Before Christmas, Baking Several Pies. I was also Blessed to Visit with an Uncle I Seldom Get to See, and am So Grateful for the Kindnesses of our Lord.

I Hope your Christmas was a Wonderful One, my Sister in Christ, and I'll Freepmail you a Pic of my Mom and I that my Husband Snapped Last Night.

Oh, I'm Sorry, lonestar! :( The Squirrels Around Here are So Tame, but I Guess they would be Capable of Something Bad, too.

Thank you, Kitty, I will be looking forward to the pic. of your precious Mother. Oh, how I wish I could talk to my mother again. No better friend will ever be found. My mom and I were just so close. She got Alzheimers and was sick for eight years. She was such a smart lady. That disease attacks anyone, doesn’t it? She and my sweet daddy are together with Jesus and they never have to worry any more.

If you ever have more pics. of target practice, don’t forget to freepmail them to me!!!

This little flower is called "prairie smoke". Do you have it where you live, Kitty?
