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!

On my Search through my Computer Pics I Discovered the Most Beautiful Pic of our President and First Lady, but can't Post it, because it has about 360,000 Bytes! :( I Re-Worked my FR Homepage, and Put Several New Pics of our President, Including the Beautiful One, on it. : )

I'm About to Jump in the Car and Travel on the Ice/Snow on my Way to my Shepherd-King's Ranch; a Prayer Whispered for Travel Mercies would be Appreciated! Our Lord Bless All the Finest!

[MEG33]

Send it to me in freepmail after you put it in tinypic and I'll resize it for you..I can do it here..but not at my house..Prayers for a safe journey to the ranch.

Travel mercies for your trip over the ice.

I heard it's supposed to get even worse by the weekend.

Interesting.

[MEG33]

I hope not! The 10 day forecast shows no freezing on Sunday from Houston to Central Texas.I am planning on going home.

[Lady Jag]

Happy warm and fuzzy!!!

[MEG33]

Awwwww..Happy Warm and Fuzzy, LadyJ.

[Lady Jag]

Thank you, dear Meggys!

You, too, okay?

It's 21º here today and I'm sure others are colder, but warm & fuzzy is all I want to think of this Wedenesday!

[MEG33]

It has climbed above freezing here..but not by much because there is still ice on the foliage and branches. Stay cozy inside! I am doing just that.

[GodBlessUSA]

Lord, We thank You for those who are serving in our armed forces. Each day they are making brave sacrifices so that our country can remain strong and free. Keep them safe under the shelter of Your wings. And Lord, for their families back home——whose loving support enables our armed forces, to do all that they are called on to do——we ask that You comfort them and give them Your peace...the peace that passes all understanding. Amen


Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to
Billie; Dutchess; DollyCali; JustAmy; The Mayor; GodBlessUSA,
and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart. Amen

Awful cute pic there in #12, Miss Meg ... thank you for the smile it gives me.

[jaycee]

Kitty, makes me feel warm and fuzzy, too. What a darling baby and a great man.

[jaycee]

That dog acts like he is doing something against his will and he would like to bite someone, but I am sure he wouldn't if it was his Master!

[jaycee]

Makes one almost feel amarous! (sp.)

[MEG33]

(((jw)))

[alwaysconservative]

Those are darling, Dolly! Thanks so much for the smiles!

Our ski outing was changed to HIKE as john had some technical difficulty with ski (broke?). Will try for tomorrow, but I am not sure there will be enough snow where we hope to ski.

as is where we hiked about 10 miles south of my home had a Lot less snow.. we get the lake effect & it is heavier.

Sharing a few pix as many of the scenes I SAW reminded me of one of my favorite artists: Bev Doolittle. These pix aren't totally "it" but do have a bit of the flavor of her snow scenes.

for anyone unfamiliar with Bev, she is the camouflage artist & topics are animals, nature, spirits, horses, Indians...mostly

Here is her website:

be sure to click on the gallery links on bottom to see more of her work

and the last one of Toby doing his best Hippopotamus imitation
