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!

Two weeks ago I posted "The Last Days of Summer", featuring the Finest Guys, which of course prompted the Finest Girls to ask, "When are you going to feature us?"

Well, today's the day, Girls. And oh, so Pretty in Pink everyone is!
      ~ Billie   

Gentlemen, start your engines! Not just another pretty face, these are all the girls you've loved before.....the little redhaired girl with green eyes and a dimple in her chin; the perky blonde whose ponytail bounced when she walked; that little brunette with the turned-up nose and laughing eyes....they're all here and more. Which ones made your little-boy hearts do flipflops?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there a little girl in the whole world who doesn't have a fascination for kittens, pretty birds, and......teddy bears!

And maybe it's a Texas thang, but show me a little girl who's never dreamed of being a cowgirl at least once in her life. Something about those cowboy boots and that hat! :)

The seasons, they are a'changing. Leaves are turning bright orange, gold, red......but whatever the season, the Finest FRiends are constant.

This group of Ohio/West Virginia FReepers are about to have their second reunion, getting together for lunch and a whole bunch of hugs next month. Stay tuned for pictures. :)

Finally, did someone say we should have a Tea Party? I say, "Let's!" Put on your Finest outfit, don your favorite chapeau, and come join the party already in progress.

Tea Party Etiquette

• Remember to say, "Please" and "No thank you."
• Place your napkin on your lap.
• Keep your lips closed when you are eating.
• Take one of each foods you are offered.
• Place your used teaspoon on the saucer under your teacup.
• Say your goodbyes and thank yous when you leave the party.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

[Mama_Bear]

I missed you AGAIN! :-(

Well, here's your special hug for when you return.

[dixie sass]

Free, I have a very bad feeling about that lady. Everything so far reminds me of Hugo, included the probable date for landfall. I am scared that we are going to get the backside of the this time...

OH, our very own Coach McKissick, who is already the winningest high school coach in the country is going for his 500th win tonight! You go Coach!!!!!

[Billie]

I saw the little red-haired girl when you posted it to Pip, too! I think you can see more than a little red x in Post #150 now - the one that T Man 'liked' so well. :)

[dixie sass]

It's when you don't have your own granddaughter and have to adopt someone else's.

[JustAmy]

LOL

I'll take the hug but give the kiss to TTM.

[Billie]

Thank you, sweet sistah! I'm so glad you're finally here! Have been missing you this week. When's it gonna get better - I forgot! :)

[dutchess]

Just returning...finally had time to freep and our ISP was acting up. Just finally got back..

[JustAmy]

"It's when you don't have your own granddaughter and have to adopt someone else's. "

Or steal errr ahh borrow!

[Billie]

Hi, dixie - thank you! That's why I saved you for the tea party graphic! :)

[dutchess]

Hi dixie. So great to see you and all your posts today. Unfortunately I've been work impaired most of the week. It's great to have such wonderful friends keep the thread going when one or more of the "hostesses" are freeper impaired!

same to you meg, amy and cal... I have really missed this place this week!

[Mama_Bear]

I just adore the hat! I love hats, hats and lots of flowers.

Yes, isn't it pretty and soft and pink and flowery? All the things I love. I so wish I had had a daughter to dress in ruffles and lace and pink 'stuff'. I had a rough and tumble, wonderful, 'snakes and snails and puppy dog tails' son, that I love with all my heart (even though he gave me two grandsons and no grandaughters, LOL!).

Have fun at the Bar-b-que! Wish that I could get out there with y'all!

Thanks. I'm sure we will. I do wish all you freepers from back east could join us. I know it is a little far to come, but we would sure love to meet you all.

[Billie]

It was such fun finding all those beautiful little girls - the hard part was choosing which ones to use. :)

[dixie sass]

Yes, I forgot, I have to borrow. My son isn't married and sighhhhhhhhhh, no grandkids, so I borrow them, sighhhhhhh!

[dixie sass]

I'm glad you are back Dutchess!

[dixie sass]

Someday!!!!

[dixie sass]

I can imagine!

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you for the nice welcome for my favorite niece. (Did ya' hear that, scubachick? LOL - and what's with the FOURTEEN hugs for wolfie? He is going to be spoiled rotten!;-))

And, yes dutchess, the tri-tip is marinating. Every time I open the refrigerator the smell is just wonderful. I so wish you could be with us tomorrow.

Yikes, I am running out of time! I have to go and get ready to head up to Fresno.

HUGS to you both!

[Billie]

Colleen, she's a beauty - look at that smile and the sparkle in her eyes!

[Billie]

Gosh, you just made wolfie's day.....pineapple pie! And a hug!

Wolfie's whiskers are twitchin' and his tail's a switchin'.

AhhhhhRoooooo!!! : )

LOL! You know 'xactly how to get us to spoil you. :)
