A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Jan 28 & 29 -08....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!

I like the rearranging I did..The woodwork washing doesn’t really show but it needed it and I won’t have to do it again for months. I stagger cleaning woodwork so it doesn’t overwhelm me. These shelves go to the ceiling so it is a chore.

Fog? Wow, I wouldn’t think that would be a normal thing for you. Mud season comes from all the melting snow and the spring rain. My back yard looks like a rice paddie for a few weeks or month.

I’m happy.... I just had a visit from my tamer, once lame raccoon..She came to the door and stood up on it..looking for me to get a move on and get her some food.

It was daylight so I could really examine her wounded foot..Last time I saw the foot it was so very red where she had lost hair..Today it looked better..She is walking on all fours so this injury wasn’t as long lasting as the first.
The raccoons do not show up as often..skipping a night or two now. I was concerned about this one so any time I see her is a happy time for me...besides she lets me stand by her while she eats..LOL

I'm doing okay but a cute story....sister-in-law just called, locked out on her carport, supposed to have her car at the shop to be serviced and she was in a panic...I called the locksmith and the car place and wished I could have sent her the below, so thought you'd get a laugh from it!
