Good Morning, Mama Bear.
What a beautiful thread today. I always enjoy meeting new Freepers but it is great to see friends honored.
See you tonight .......
Big decision ..... where to eat?
Big question ........ Will ladyinred bring brownies?

[chadsworth]

Are you bringing additional FReepers?

I have added Clovis_skeptic to my - We Need You, Uncle Sam post and we have emailed the VFW to see if we could get some warm corner standing, sign waving bodies from them but have not heard back yet

[Pippin]

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!

Congratulations LadyinRed and Chadsworth!

[JustAmy]

Maybe we should try the Sherwood Inn tonight!
Too far away for some of us but I might try it again on a Saturday night.

Clovis looks like a very nice place to live - I've already located a bar and will be scouting other amenities later. Have a ball now. bbl

[chadsworth]

The brownies she made for last weeks friday FReep haven't set up yet!

I am not sure they would make it to the corner,

my mouth may get in the way!

[chadsworth]

Try putting on a skirt!

[Mama_Bear]

Interesting! I would love to see that. I think I need to locate my binoculars. :-)

Pinging mtngrl! See post #19. Did you know about this asteriod? I know you have a telescope and an interest in astronomy. Wouldn't it be fun to see something that only happens once every 50 years or so?

How nice your pledge is and how fitting to have a "pair" doing the pledge to coincide with your subjects today. You did a good job with the profile, I feel the fun, joy and patriotism emanating from this very special FReeper couple...Thank you.

[Mama_Bear]

Clara! Nice to see you here so bright and early ..... I know it isn't early in your neck of the woods, but the sun is barely up here on the left coast.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Pippin!!
Happy Friday to you!!! I always enjoy your bubbly good mornings ...... starts my day off right!

[Mama_Bear]

(And look Mama_Bear our calendar is in yellow, your new 2nd favorite color, lol)

LOL! Good morning, Daisy. Yes, I think yellow is a good choice for a second favorite color. :-)

Congratulaions to you both. I come bearing gifts. What a nice week we have had, starting off with loving couple Jim and Sheila and end up with another great FReeper couple.....

[lodwick]

Great to get to know you! Here's amazing facts from Clovis:

Enough Concrete was used to construct the Friant Dam, that it could have paved a three-lane Highway all the way from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

The first all women jury couldn’t come to agreement so the case involving two other women was dismissed.

Although there were no trees around Clovis in the 1890’s, it became a major lumbering town.

Trees were dragged behind wagons coming down the mountain roads to help slow them down.

The town of Friant has held seven names. Mugginsville, Jonesville, Jones Ferry, Converse Ferry, Hamptonville, Pollasky, and Friant.

One pioneer family crossed the same stream 23 times to get to Clovis from Los Angeles.

Friant Dam is so wide that you could put three Queen Mary Ocean Liners end to end.

It takes 556 honeybees to fly over 35,000 miles to make only one pound of honey.

The Clovis Independent Newspaper was started by the world’s oldest active newspaperwoman, “May Case”, in 1918.

Dinkey Creek was named for a little dog, “Dinkey”.

The Old Fort Millerton Jail was so crude that it couldn’t keep anyone in, but the food was so tasty that the jailbirds returned every night to eat.
