A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day......Feb. 11&12 -08....Military Tribute
Billie, The Mayor

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I have been including them here as I receive enough to make another collage.
I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
We have featured different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
Every Monday we post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day!

It was pretty good. It always goes so fast. We just did some chores and relaxed too. Made a nice Sunday dinner.

It is bitter cold now. Huge change. :)

It was so strange yesterday. The winds picked up so fast and were so strong and it started to snow. Everything was blowing east. It was kind of neat. ;) I had to run out and get something that blew off the deck and I was a little nervous out there. LOL

Apparently not much work Rus according to the person who told me about it a few years ago.

It is a program. You give it a pix (like here it is a flag..) I have seen & Have the one of Geo Bush, I think you must OPEN all the pix you want to use & it does the work.

Not sure what the program is called etc.

Looks like you sweetie is taking you out to dinner.. will that mean crossing “the TOLL bridge”? You dont have much right on the island as I recall.. well, your son’s place

Had to drive my daughter up to Philly yesterday - heavy winds on the way home and a snow squall in Wilmington.
