For Our Military:

May Almighty God hold our precious military members in His loving embrace. Please, Dear Father, place Your bloodline of protection around each and every one of these fine, selfless people. We, as a nation, have so much to be grateful for. We need to recognize all of our military members by expressing our gratitude through love, support and prayers. We thank You, Father for allowing us to live in such a free and wonderful nation such as this. Please teach us all to express this gratitude to those who sacrifice their own personal freedoms to protect ours.

We ask this in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Good morning Sistahs and FRiends.

Aqua, good job posting your first Finest thread. You've passed with flying colors.......but then, we all knew you would.

Some people still aren't seeing some of Billie's graphics?

Pippin, starting to get a bit worried about you. Hoping everything is okay back there and you are off on a fun little getaway somewhere. Check in when you can.

To our men and women in uniform, past and present, THANK YOU. God bless and protect you.......

Mornin' FR's Finest... Hostesses.

Outstanding job you've done today, Aqua. Welcome to "The Crew."

Military Monday deserves a "Thank You" to all our Armed Forces, past and present, along with a special "Thank You" to those often forgotten - the military family left waiting at home.

Salute!

Sorry Aqua that on your first day you're being forced to endure an initiation. You'd think the other hostesses would be a little more supportive. Also, watch out for Free, looks like she's about to take a bite out of your leg!

Never seen such a disfunctional group. LOL!

Aqua!!! You are a wonder. You have spread your wings and flown. I love your opening graphic with the mice.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Congrats! A *Babe* you are! : )

Very nice, Aqua. : )

[Billie]

Hallelujah! All the pictures opened!

Whew! And now, see, Aqua, that was a piece of cake, wasn't it?! Think how much easier the next one will be because you got your feet wet with this one, and it's 'behind' you now!

You did a beautiful job posting today, and thank you so much for giving me a little break this morning. (Break? :) Free, you have mail - I just finished tomorrow's thread a few minutes ago - hope that it will open for you!)
