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!

**Ignores Free's kooky post. Smooth's out floral dress and proceeds to sample some of the lovely tea cakes**

LOL!

[MEG33]

What precious girls!I have 4 grandsons so it's been a long while since I could buy little girl things.

[Calpernia]

I love going to those old mom and pop antique style stores and buying the loose teas in the brown fold over bags. I have quite a bit of antique Tea Infusers, cloth bag infusers, bamboo type trays, honey dippers....

My husband doesn't get it. He is strictly a Lipton tea out of the box kind of guy :)

Great thread today Billie. Thought I better post our latest of Leila Kay. She is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her baby sister in a couple of weeks.

[MEG33]

It's just fun to do,isn't it?

[Billie]

Hi, Chris! One of these other Ohio/WestVirginia FRiends should let you know where and what time. :)As for Hannah, let's show her off again right now! She is a most adorable little redhead -- and talk about Pretty in Pink!!!

[Aquamarine]

It's a gorgeous day here. I'll be back later to see if The Thin Man crashes the Tea Party.

[Billie]

Morning, Cal, and thank you so much. And thanks for posting your pretty picture with your pretty little girl - but it's so tiny! :(

You look like a strawberry blonde - I didn't know the color of your hair for your tea party picture - just 'guessed'. :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good morning, BillieBlue! : )

What a stunning presentation! Outstanding!!!

Only one thing wrong though, the little girls are too young for Wolfie. : (

But.....he can fantasize about what they'll look like when they grow up. AhhhhhRoooooo!!

[Billie]

Thank you, Meg! :) Too much fun picturing all these 'girls'! :) Also, hope the blonde cowgirl is okay for you. :)

[Billie]

Oohh - beautiful tea setting! Please pour me a cup. :)

[LadyShallott]

Billie thanks for posting a picture of our girl! Man I love that picture ( I have it framed in several sizes around the house!LOL!) I just took some black and white pictures of her at home having a tea party. I need to get them developed. When I do I will post them here. Thanks again!

Chris

[Calpernia]

Oh how sweet!

Welcome to the new arrivals!

[Billie]

Oh, Aqua, thank you for posting the midi to "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" - that tune is going around and around in my head!

Thanks for the nice words, too!

[Calpernia]

Not just fun to do (which it is!), have you ever found a store bought tea that compares to the aroma of those loose mom and pop teas? They are much richer in taste too.

[Calpernia]

That would make a nice post card.

[FreeTheHostages]

Ignore me? How can you ignore me, Calpernia? I'm a pretty girl!!

Oh, please let me have tea with you!!

[LadyShallott]

Hi! Just wanted to drop a note and ask when and where the get together was. I know it's on the 25th, but I am not sure where and what time it going to be held. Thanks so much. Can't wait to meet everyone. Have a great day. God Bless-

Chris

I know, it is a tiny pic. I'm am not good at pixels. I can do some things in Adobe Photo; but don't have the touch yet for others.

I'm a blonde. So is Amanda. You did pick the right little girl for me.
