A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Feb. 4th & 5th -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!

Good morning, Gee Bee and Meg!

We are to hit 70 today but I have inside things to take care of. Maybe I will get an hour outside this afternoon. Meg’s 80 degrees made me dream of it. It poured rain most of the day yesterday but the sun is very bright this morning.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Good afternoon Jaycee
Nice 70 degrees! It’s warmer here today also but lots of rain. Even a thunderstorm earlier.

Enjoy your day! :)

Good to see you too Meg! I love homecomings too. I’m just thankful we didn’t have little ones when hubby deployed both times.

I try not to miss a day and don’t think I have in a couple years or longer. It assures that I read it everyday too.

I didn’t do any outside work, however, I did go out and sit for a little while and saw there was a lot of work ahead of me!

Good evening The Mayor
How are you this evening? I’m hanging in there. I’m still fighting off this nasty cold.

I’m not watching any liberal media today. At least I’m not aggravated at all. :)

Our day was 46 degrees and cloudy. The smell of Spring was in the air though.

I’m doin OK, end of the day catching up on posts. I have been watching the sci-fi channel lately, it has been more enjoyable than regular political TV.

Sure hope you start to feel better soon.
