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!

Beautiful thread, Billie. You do a great job.

The Westerns Channel sometimes shows an old Tex Ritter movie...and, he was the voice on all those wonderful old Disney nature series, like Vanishing Prarie, the Living Desert, etc...he had a great voice, cut the occasional country song, too....Red River Valley, such a beautiful sad song.

Was waiting here and you were there - there and now here - reminds me of hiking to breakfast at Denny's, trying to keep up withya..:))

[WVNan]

LOL

[WVNan]

Hi jw. Yes, a wonderful voice for sure. He had two very talented sons and a special son. What a tragic loss for the entertainment industry.

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

Thank You, LadyX :-) Meggie has a special place in my heart, such a loving, humorous little one.

Ocean Blvd. and King's Highway, brings me right back to Myrtle Beach. I love it there this time of the year, perfect! Been there so many times, feels like a home away from home. I am so happy that you had such an enjoyable time.

Please give {{{ Hugs }}} to Hannah Rose for me?

[WVNan]

Looks like we three are the only little girls playing dress-up this late night.

[deadhead]

I love that graphic, adorable!!

[WVNan]

I will. That Hannah is one cute little tyke. I hope she will be up to all the hyper-fast-talking Freeper ladies.
We wouldn't want to frighten her.

Dear Billie.....That 'Beary Good FRiends' graphic is just darling.....thank you so much.

[WVNan]

I love the one on the chair. Look how she's dropped one shoe. Amd the kitten on the table. I think it's so cute.

[deadhead]

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

Thanks, Nan. LOL, Meggie is feisty. I am Meggie's proud :-) Godmother. She has a lot of energy.

[WVNan]

She just looks like she's full of herself. Adorable.

[deadhead]

"Look how she's dropped one shoe."

Very cute. I remember well dressing up in my Mom's clothes when I was a young one...playing "grown up"

[MEG33]

Of course..That wonderful voice and I can "see"Wild Bill Elliot in my mind.Listen ,lonestar,I'm old enough that seeing a western serial every Saturday afternoon was a main treat in my youth and we sent off for secret decoder rings for our favorite radio show!LOL!

[Fawnn]

Beautiful and impressive page design today. Thank you for all your hard work!

[LadyX]

Looks as if we have adopted Colleen as a Little Sistah...:))

She is 'Southern' at heart, Nan!

Actually, I need to go to bed soon - -

[WVNan]

Hear hear! Nothing like those serial westerns at the Sat. matinee. Admission 10 cents or so many crushed tin cans or old newspapers.

[deadhead]

"Actually, I need to go to bed soon - -"

Me too LadyX. And I would be honored to be the little sistah of Maggie and Nan.

Good Night and God Bless

Colleen
