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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Thank you so much, BeforeISleep.
Looks as if you'll be a bit soggy in New York and Pennsylvania tomorrow -- good day to read a book and/or nap!

Those pictures are goregous, thanks for sharing.

It's so GREEN there. :)

Just saw this post about your aunt, am so sorry to hear about her suffering a stroke last night. She'll be in my prayers.

LOL, picturing that!!
He retreated to sleeping on the glider on the screened in porch
to avoid "incoming artillery fire"..:))

[LadyX]

Really neat greeting, tuliptree!
Thanks...

[LadyX]

Thank you, Aqua, and for the hugs...

[Aquamarine]

I saw that, lol. Y'all sure were fuzzy back then.

[deadhead]

Your photos are awesome! Beautiful pictorial of Ireland. The bride and groom look lovely. Ireland looks so pretty, have to get there one day. Bet you all had a wonderful time. Thank You for sharing your photos with us.

Sorry about Barkley :-(

Mickey is adorable, great that your Mom and Dad have another dog. Love the name Mickey.
My dear late Mom's name was Mickey, a nick name from when she was a child. Most people didn't know my Mom's 'real' name.

[deadhead]

Binky and friends are celebrating too :-)

Wishing you a Happy and Blessed birthday

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you both for the Anniversary wishes. That's a beautiful rose graphic, Colleen.

BTW, I re-did my math and discovered we've actually been married 38 years. Sheesh! Math was never my strong suit. The years go by so fast, I can't keep track of them. LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Y'all sure were fuzzy back then.

LOL. Yes, and young too. That was a lifetime ago. Man, the time does fly by. In fact, it has flown by so fast that I lost track of how many years. I've re-counted and found that we've actually been married for 38 years. (My math skills aren't what they should be.)

[deadhead]

You're Welcome. Happy 38th :-)

Having met you in person, you look way too young to be married for 38 years, what....were you married at 10?
