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 100,000 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 or a profile of another FReeper.

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

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!
~ Billie, Mama_Bear, dansangel, dutchess, Aquamarine, FreeTheHostages ~

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review the features of the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello there now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. ~ Billie

[LadyX]

Arrived too late for breakfast, but always need coffee!

Thinking about a picnic today?
These folks did, once upon a time:

Left to right: May Southern Wallace, Harry Truman, Bess Wallace, Natalie Ott Wallace, Frank Wallace.

Good morning!!! My son comes home from the hospital today. He thinks that he is superman and will be right back on his feet and doing things the way he did before he got sick. Men!!!!

[dixie sass]

Up all night?

[dixie sass]

Eating a bowl of grits right now. Did y'all watch Fox and Friends this a.m.?

The two chefs featured were both from two the absolutely, positivily wonderful best restaurants in Charleston, SC.

[dixie sass]

Morning LadyX. How are you doing? Truman was president when I was born in 1945.

[Temple Owl]

Good morning Mama_Bear and all. I thought I sent this earlier, but it didn't show so happy weekend again.

[LadyX]

In 1945 I was singing Mairzy Doats and Swingin' On A Star in the 5th grade - age 11!

In May 1947, the month I turned 13, I came close to meeting President Truman. Represented Florida in the National Spelling Bee, and he was scheduled to receive us, but his mother was ill and he had to fly to Independence to be with her.

Did go to the White House, though, but not through it, that being renovated at the time, and much of Washington on tours - Mount Vernon by bus - back on a paddle wheeler on the Potomac.

[dutchess]

Goodmorning you two...that's so sweet..greeting each other on FR :o) Have a great weekend (and jk...looking forward to your recipe after your picnic!!!)

p.s. Giz says Bear and Jackie need some eggs!

[mountaineer]

Great photo. Don't you love the notion of picnicking in a shirt and tie? Harry Truman reminds me a little of my grandfather who - like Harry - served in the U.S. Army in France in WWI. dixie - save some of those grits! I haven't had any in ages, and I love 'em.
