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

Would you believe about two weeks ago I posted "gork" (and definition) as a Word of the Day on the Finest thread?!

My son is a Physician Assistant, and I was around medicine for 18 years....

So glad the MRI showed the brain contents "reasonably normal" - - LOL

I've got a little houseguest once again...Miss Lucy has come to stay for a couple of weeks while her human tears out the old floor of her palace and lays down a new one.

She's been basking in the sun...such sweetness...)

A beautiful clear blue day underway here...glad for my ocean breeze.

Wishing you a peaceful, easy weekend, dear Lady X...)

Lovely day on the East Coast, Westy - - will drop a note in a bottle, get over to the Atlantic Ocean and float it down and across the Panama Canal and up to your location one day soon.... should reach you by 2019 (the year, not the hour!) or thereabouts..:))

Coasting this weekend, I am, resting up for Monday.....this setting looks like a great place to do that - - -

Hi Maggie! Missed you yesterday!

[Calpernia]

Morning Evening Dutchess!

[Calpernia]

Now that I think of it...I don't recalling seeing Grits here in the NE. I loved them when I lived in NC; but, I am not sure they carry Grits in the stores here. I'll have to look now and see.

Hey Weinie...Just heard Simon dropped out the California race...think you scared him off the ballot.

This just in! Simon supports Weinie for governor of California.

In a news release Simon said, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I'm throwing my weight behind Weinie."

My campaign is rolling!

[lonestar]

Those are cute puppies!

LOVELY picture. It is amazing how pretty clouds can be.

[Calpernia]

I was so busy looking at the clouds....I missed the swan! I think that is a signet there too!
