I love my life and the journeys I go on. I knew 1 thing to go to the JoAnn Store in Franklin, just to make sure there were no other buttons to re-purpose my jeans that I lost the pink gemstone. I am in the button aisle and as I am leaving the row I run into a distinguished looking older gentleman that had a blazer in his arm. He shared with me that he lost a button and had to replace it. He also mentioned that he may have to change all the buttons on the blazer if he couldn't find a match to the missing button. I asked a few questions, do you like this blazer & is it a blazer that's a fine blazer. Yes to both questions. I then suggested then change all the buttons to coordinate. It is good to update the blazer you like. I then showed him my jeans and how I had to update them since I lost the gemstone. I thought I picked out another set of buttons and I brought the ones I purchased yesterday to get an opinion when checking out. I am sticking with the original set of buttons I bought yesterday, do you agree? So, I was browsing and this hummingbird patch caught my attention, I bought it because I just know I will find the perfect place for this.
Then I went to the Kroger's to get the few ingredients I needed to make the gift along with the cook book. They had all the ingredients except the heavy cream needed, they were all out of stock. As I am going down the aisle to the milk area I see a sign for 1.00 Chester's Cheese Paws huge container (20 servings size). The manager told me there is nothing wrong with them they don't normally carry this and the best by date is at the end of this month. I know I can share them with others. Then onto Marshalls. Nothing there and I hear Holy Spirit urging me to leave the store and go to TJ Maxx. Oh my gosh, the sky was angelic if I could use that description. I took a few videos and pictures. I was not the only one either, there were several people intrigued with the sky and they were taking the same as I was. I even asked one person if they thought they were angels. I then got a bit bolder as I approached the entrance and spoke with another and said they are angels protecting us.
I still needed the one missing ingredient so I head to Aldi's. See I used to work in Franklin for a couple of years and I still remember a few short cuts and I found myself at Aldi's and purchased twice the amount of cream needed for the recipe and cost considerably less then Kroger's pricing for less quantity if it was in stock. When I am located somewhere I tend to get out and find shortcuts and quicker ways to get from point A to point B. I remember times when I worked in Franklin and dealt with driving to work 1 day in terrible rain. So much so I pulled into a development and called a co-worker to see how they were doing on the drive into work. In the evenings I liked to take various routes home. There were times when I was driving in snow, driving in an ice storm too. There would be one cut through street I would take but no way in an ice storm. There is a very steep hill to climb on the way to the main street I would take. It was very steep and then you went past a Publix just before a round about and then through a neighborhood. No way would I ever attempt that incline on an ice storm day.
So, I remembered the shortcut to Aldi's and then I headed back home. See, another road I take to the highway is on a country type of road. Not the best lighting either especially near the turning lane to get on the highway. They really should improve the lighting out there. Another thing about Franklin, they pay exorbitant gasoline prices. You don't want to get gasoline unless in dire need there. Get just enough to get you to much better pricing elsewhere. Why is their gasoline so high in price?
I made the Pumpkin Cheesecake Overstuffed Whoopie Pies when I got home. Easy recipe and I highly recommend it. I shared some with neighbors and then I also shared the cheese paws too. I had them fill up a big plastic bag with them. They gave me a head of butter lettuce. I told them about my Franklin adventure. They replaced SteinMart with Burlington and I noticed a new Trader Joe's on my way to TJ Maxx. I used to shop @ Trader Joe's when I lived in GA. That is where I would buy fresh eucalyptus and other fresh cut flowers. My neighbors are going to check it out and then let me know how this new location is.
While the cake part of the recipe was baking in the oven I watched the live broadcast of Family Worship Center. Grace Brumley you did a fantastic job preaching and the closing was just perfect with the song sung. I miss church that meets in the morning then back again in the evening for Sunday evening service. That is my Sunday update. I am blessed to be a blessing to bless others, are you???
