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!

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

Howdy, lonestar...I woke up about 3 this morning...way early for me...the borrowed cat and I have been up since, watching the night fade as day begins.

I'll be thinking of you and your little Miss Weine...please give her my regards, and let her know she's still got all my votes.

This Mystery of Life and Death...so beautiful and wonderful and terrible and full of Grace...she's running in fields of gold and green....and I sit here grieving for a faraway dog I never met, yet grateful that I got to know her.

Our lives are larger for knowing Weinie, and you.

Blessing on you, lonestar...and your little love departed.

Guess you know you ain't alone here...all the Finest are with you...

[lonestar]

Thank you. Weinie and I enjoyed her campaign more than anybody.

People who KNEW her really enjoyed it!

[MEG33]

((((((((((((Lonestar)))))))))))

[lonestar]

I just want to say this!

This Rainbow Bridge is a neat place. I've already met Tappy, Truman, Ginger and Schnitzel. I had a long talk with Millie Bush about her book

The neatest thing about it is--

There are NO "yellow dogs" up here!

Some of their four-legged friends are here but I'm getting things organized and we'll get them on the right track!

I'm having trouble convincing everybody HOW FAMOUS I was!

Lonestar knows how much I enjoyed your attention.

I'm outta here. There's work to be done!

Love to you all,

Weinie

[LadyX]

Thanks be to Carl and The Mayor - - think I can get through the afternoon now!!

[lonestar]

Thanks. (sniff)

[MeekOneGOP]

:O)

[Pippin]

((((Lonestar))))!

[The Mayor]

think I can get through the afternoon now!!

Well that's good!

How are you doing? You are my thoughts and Prayers.

[dutchess]

Weinie is romping around the meadows beyond rainbow bridge meeting up with Schnitzel and reeking havoc on all the squirrels. So glad you allowed us the privilege of getting to know her Lonestar. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[dixie sass]

Hello everyone! Dark and rainy Saturday here. Good day for curling up with a good book or playing a board game with the family...

or even a movie.

[dixie sass]

Awesome picture, LadyX.

[dixie sass]

Sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!

[dixie sass]

I'm afraid to ask, but what happened to Weinie? I haven't been able to read every thread the last couple of days. Did I miss ...

[dixie sass]

You must have Charlestonian in you to pronounce Military that way!!!!

[dixie sass]

Dear Lonestar, I am so sorry to hear about Weinie. I know that Fritzenheimer and he will be fast friends. Tinkerbell and Granny Cat and Inky will take care of the two of them 'cause they will be into lots of mischief!

Lots of Hugs to you and your family.

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful for the beautiful years.

I gave to you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.

So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.

An then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say, Welcome Home.

"We need a proper tribute from all those who love Weinie - and lonestar. "

Thank You for the suggestion, LadyX. The above is my loving tribute to Weinie and for lonestar which I posted on the other thread. Weinie is now amongst all our beloved pets who took a trip over Rainbow Bridge.

P.S. Rumor has it that Weinie has been elected President of Rainbow Heaven, all that campaigning paid off :-)
