So glad I checked in before turning in tonight. Dolly, you did a fantastic job on featuring Snugs.

I always enjoy your company Snugs, you have been so warm and open on this forum and it's nice getting to know you a little better. Britain is lucky to have you as a citizen.

Thanks for the ping, Snugs. I was reading in at lunch but usually don't post from work - I was going to congratulate you when I got home (which was just a few minutes ago).

This is fabulous!!! I've enjoyed the stories and pictures of you and your family that you've shared on threads here and there - - this is even better - -there are more and they're all in one place ;-) Great reading and viewing! Many of us knew you were one of FR's Finest - now everyone does! Congratulations!!!!

Dolly - thanks for doing this!

For Snugs And FR's Finest Ladies


Mom Cat Mambo





They wander here! They wander there!
My four little kittens are off on a tear
Aware that they can move and travel anywhere
Their curiosity leads them. It's my Cross to bear

Fortunately, they travel in groups and not very fast
Listening to my little Apha, Nicky, but that won't last!
He just loves the feel of dirt and grass and flowers
So, finding and retrieving my Kindle takes about an hour

My little ones don't understand why I keep them all together
Wriggling and complaining from their embarrassing tether
A Rite Of Passage that's been followed for uncounted years
As I drop pretty Eleanor before their humbled peers

I know they'll be scheming again as soon as I step away
Because that's what kittens do, and I know their ways!
We'll dance the Mom Cat Mambo until they're a bit more grown
And I can trust them out of sight and on their own!

Wonderful! How fortunate we are to have Snugs on Free Republic..

I couldn't agree with you more!

[snugs]

Yes that is me in the middle front row with the pattern skirt.

Hey!

I missed this thread from yesterday.

Nice intro of Snugs, A really great person! IMO, :o)

Hi, Kate!

[DollyCali]

Well, Eleanor, it was great finally collaborating to get you featured, front & center. Thanks so much for your rapid responses when I had a question or wanted another pix/graphic.

You know it is really funny that as I did the pix of your parents & grandparents (I thought Nan was your aunt from the wording).. I felt a very strange sense of being a fly on the wall in your past. I know this sounds corny but I don't think I ever experienced it before. I was at first wanting to just put ONE good pix of your parents up... but then it was as if this needed to be the focus as your parents & family are your core.. with work, friends, travel etc the peripheries.. and such a shudder when I was doing this realizing that they were all gone save your dad, who is elderly.

I was almost feeling a sacredness about their pix & presentations and that is another reason that I felt the downer about not being able to do it like I wished. I had intended to do the collage parts over. I save them all in the "working" Picture It format as well as the JPG so many things can be changed.

I came home & took a quick nap last night about 10.. intended to return to my neighbors at 11.. but didn't wake up until 1!(and they said midnight was cut off)

Repair people for wiring are to be here by 8 & so I can have my computer back.. they are leaving here shortly so I don't have much time to post.

Thanks again Snugs for being one of our Finest. Not only for this special "Getting to Know You" but always in your fine posts & considerate responses to people. WE surely all have our detractors in life, but I hope we can both always look beyond & take the higher ground.

God Bless you dear Friend, Bless your Family & Bless your wonderful country. We are honored to have Britain as our ally in this crazy world.

[DollyCali]

Thanks Pippin.. any closer to high speed at home? Glad you dropped in. Know that with your work schedule it isn't always possible

[DollyCali]

Hi there Kate.. thanks for dropping in. I would ask you how married life is but the miles I know make it hard.

[DollyCali]

Oh Jack that is so sweet.. and what a great pix. Thanks for honoring Snugs thread the other women at the Finst with it.

So clever!

Sorry I didn't respond to you last night. my short little nap turned into 3 hours! and by them I missed my computer use window.

Always honored to have you add to our threads

[DollyCali]

Well, so nice to see you! Haven't crossed paths for awhle it seems & you are most welcome and I do hope that life is good for you.

[DollyCali]

Thanks Rus... a wee little too late for the cuppa.. I guess for Snugs, I was fasionable & posted at Tea Time (american time zone)

[DollyCali]

Finding the great people here who are popular & yet willing to share their information openly, provide answers /pix in a timely way.. well, not easy. Many don't even respond to a FReepMail inquiry..not even a response. That is not a good sign.. lol!

I have done a few mini bios when I did threads for others.. like when I did GretchenM & the chairs moving & when I do Chris Davis (writer33), I have a mini bio. But these are more or less "introductions" rather than in depth profiles.

When I read something I always like to know a little bit about the person. Before I start any book, I do the bio on the book jacket & now w/Internet read more where available. Before I go to most movies, I do the background on the director, screenwriter if I am not already familiar with them

Many people at FR for various reasons are very protective of their identity & "situations" and each has their reasons.

the hostess/host here at the Finest for the most part have the choice of what they would like to post, highlight. Each of us has our interest areas to work with.

It will be much like the Singles thread where each team can focus on what they want to stimulate conversation & get the ball rolling

[DollyCali]

cute graphic! thanks for stopping by.. yes.. all the British things..

[DollyCali]

I there B.. thanks for dropping in. Hope Eleanor will have some time over the weekend to drop in & visit w/the singles chat & corn! I dont have much time there often but it is becoming a nice meeting place of people who are getting to know each other

[DollyCali]

Phil has two lovely daughters! and two grandchildren.. They make life fun. Wish I lived closer to my son & two grandchildren. I haven't seen them since July 2004!

That is MUCH too long!

[DollyCali]

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop in & write a note.. ..appreciate it..

and seattle.. broadcast home of Michael Medved.. who I generally like but dont always agree on regarding movies & his reviews!

I will post a photo of Geraldine's graduation later today she is a teacher in the London area
