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!

Nan, I was hoping you would get here soon. I'm checking out early and will bid you all goodnight now and thank you from the very bottom of my heart for being such special FReepers - all of you. I love you! Goodnight! Not going to bed just yet, but do need to go. :)

"I missed your darling Meggie!What a little doll!"

Thank You Meg :-)

[scubachick]

Well, I would like to say that I am shocked that I am your favorite niece, but I always knew you had impeccable taste! LOL Seriously, though-you know you are my absolute favorite-on either side of the family! I am so glad I got to speak to you last night!

Have a ton of fun at the rally and the tailgate party! Wish I was there to taste Daddio's tri-tip!

Hugs back atcha!

[WVNan]

I couldn't see the picture of Leila Kay either. Disappointed.

[scubachick]

Thank you so much! I am thrilled to be here! What a special group of people!

[Libertina]

Night Billie! Thanks for this wonderful thread today and the lovely world of girlfriends :)

[WVNan]

Oh there's that cute little Leila Kay. Thank you for posting that Billie.

[deadhead]

Good Night Billie. Thank You for all you do here at the Finest.
It is greatly appreciated :-)

[WVNan]

Thanks for the "Getting Together" graphic Billie. I'm saving it.

[WVNan]

Look at those cuties. Did they catch all those fish?

[WVNan]

Meggie is magnificent. I'll bet she's a hand full.

[deadhead]

Hi Nan

[WVNan]

We will be watching that storm DS and praying for her to weaken and blow on up and out to sea.

[WVNan]

There you are Sistah mine. I'm back here trying to catch up. You stay with me now. I'm so glad you had a good time and are safely home.

[WVNan]

Hi Colleen. I'm caught up, yeaaaaa!

[LadyX]

So glad you have arrived, Colleen, so I can say how precious Miss Meggie is!

Thank you for the welcome. I thought of you often while cruising Ocean Boulevard and King's Highway.
Yes - this particular week was an absolutely perfect time to be there, minus the large crowds and oppressive heat of summertime.

The ocean itself was 'just right,' cool, but not cold, as it can be in April and May.
Then there were the two dawns.....ahhh........YES!!!

[lonestar]

I just remember the name, "Tex Ritter." He was from "down the road" about 80 miles from here but that was before my time. And there isn't much before my time! LOL!

I just remembered--"Red Ryder" was "Wild Bill" Elliott.

[LadyX]

I'm here, Sistah Nan, waiting for you to catch up - - -
It took me forever to do so..:))

[WVNan]

Oh, you're back. I was just over at the e-mail lamenting that you weren't here. Grin. We keep crossing each other.

[WVNan]

Now that we are here, it's time to pay tribute to "little girls".
