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!

Or...How I'm Spending
My Summer Vacation

"Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go...."

School's out; summer's here.....

and that means baseball, cookouts, picnics in the park, lemonade stands, amusement parks.. and family vacations.



MinuteGal (aka Bahama Mama) and about three dozen other FReepers and FRiends recently returned from their second fun-filled FReeps Ahoy cruise, and 'DaBear family (Mama_Bear and JKPhoto) just got back from a wonderful week down under. While there, MamaBear got to cuddle with a Koala bear - one of the highlights of their vacation.

Our daisyscarlett's taking her traveling seriously this year - she no sooner got home from a month in their secluded cabin on the lake (miles from shopping and EVERYTHING!), than it was time to pack her bags to go somewhere ELSE! We hope we get to see her before the year is over! :)

To grandma's house, the beach house; the cabin by the lake, a cruise, to the mountains, San Francisco, DisneyWorld, a Dude Ranch, Golf Resort, Health Spa, Hawaii, Alaska, Six Flags.....where are you going this summer? Stop the newspaper, hold the mail, hire a plantsitter, pack your bags....and take us WITH you!



Or maybe...do you have a memorable vacation from the past - when everything that could go wrong... DID?! You can probably laugh about it now. :) Can't you? Now's the time. This is the place. :)

Morning, Pip! Wanna go sailing?

[JustAmy]

Hi there, Dansy

Seems that I cannot get here as often as I did before. Soon I will be getting Satellite Internet and my niece is starting to act more like a little girl than a baby. Between the two, I'm hoping to get here for longer periods of time.

[Billie]

OMG! You really DID have a National Lampoon Vacation!

[Billie]

Know you two will have such fun getting together in person - your antics online are pretty entertaining!

I think that is the sweetest 'photo' of the two of you as prim and proper little girls. :)

I'm so sorry about the church, lonestar. What a blessing it was just the church building and none of the saints that comprise the Church. Please accept my condolences.

[dansangel]

A Blessed and Glorious day back at ya, ((((((((Temple Owl)))))))

[dansangel]

Soon I will be getting Satellite Internet

OMG....there'll be no stopping you! LOL!

my niece is starting to act more like a little girl than a baby

Enjoy her every moment you can. They grow up so fast. I still can't believe my "baby" is 26 and married! :-)

[lonestar]

My favorite vacations are Rocky Mountains and fishing--the kind of fishing where you sit and wait for a cork to bob.

I never seemed to think ahead, after hiking 6 miles up a mountain, the only way down was the same way I got up!

At the time, I couldn't walk a flat mile in Houston.

Meek will borrow without encouragement...

Isn't that Skinny's bailiwick? Who taught whom? Are they in cahoots? Is it a ring? Enquiring minds want to know.

[ru4liberty]

OHMYGOSH! That kid could wrap me around his finger in a NY minute! What a living doll!

I think Great-Nana will be putty in his hands. Watch out, Nana!

With any luck, sometime in late July, I may find myself in Monument Valley as I make my way to the Colorado Rockies to join my sister's family for a few days as they vacation in a condo in Telluride.

I'm hoping to spend a night a night chasing shadows in the moonlight, there in the heart of Navajo country...but I'll be ready to chase a rainbow should one appear.

The rocks, the red dirt, the ancient and timeless feeling...a sacred and beautiful place, and I long to return.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

[[[[pip]]]]

Meek, that's a funny robber graphic there! LOL

[lonestar]

Thanks. The other churches are coming to the rescue. The "saints" have been offered use of every standing sanctuary in town.

We have a very strong ministerial alliance here.

[Billie]

Good morning, Finest Owl! Have yourself one of those glorious days, too!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! :O)

[ru4liberty]

BWAHAHAHAHA + groan! Yes, who would have liked that corny punny joke. Seems she and my late husband had the same kind of humor. I like to think they're together in heaven reading Jesus' Book of Heavenly Puns and ROSOGLOLing*.

*rolling on streets of gold laughing out loud

[Billie]

Oh, that Logan - he gets cuter and cuter as he gets older and older! What a sweetie! You bet his Great Nana will want to squeeze him to pieces!

[MeekOneGOP]

Uh-oh, TMM. They're on to us. :O(

While we're in Spokane, we'll be enjoying a wagon ride...

[jwfiv]

Oh, my...I was so caught up in daydreaming about my hoped for vacation that I forgot to say Hello to y'all.

Hmmmmm...(clearing throat, catching breath).

Good morning and afternoon to all the Finest!

'Nuther winner, Billie...thank you...) Love the tiny footprints....and, the inspiration.

Oh, yeah..found a cool pic for you, ST.LOUIE1, and am compelled to share...cuz it's cool watchin' you make all the ladies swoon...)
