There were 2 choices I could have made yesterday afternoon, go to a local bank in the city where I reside or the same bank in Franklin, TN. Holy Spirit was nudging me to go Franklin bound and that is exactly what I did. I needed to take care of some banking matters and while there I happened to ask if they had any 2.00 bills for sale. They had 5 (actually 6 but I only needed 5) and I purchased them. I was on a mission yesterday late afternoon: the bank, Tuesday Morning, Trader Joe's & Bargain Hunt. All in Franklin. I am heading to Tuesday Morning and noticed a sign saying the store was closing everything in the store was on sale. I found an area rug, 2 packs of cute decorative barrettes for my growing out hair style. A new dish drainer and 2 decorative curtain rods and a refreshing looking lemon design tablecloth. I already ironed it early this morning to take with me to my new place.
Tuesday Morning who is making the decision to close the Franklin, TN location? I think you missed the mark on this one. The location you should be closing is Murfreesboro because it just cannot compare to the Franklin location. I was told it was due to rental increase at the location. Didn't you just move to this location a few years ago when the original location was a much better location and store layout? Reverse this decision and consider closing Murfreesboro and keep Franklin open. The nicest and most helpful employees work there. Hey what about opening a location in the Manchester/Tullahoma area? From talking with an employee at Trader Joe's looks like the closest location when I move will be heading to Chatanooga. Believe it or not it just may be a bit closer than traveling back to Franklin to shop there. While in the Tuesday Morning store I heard a few people say they should close Murfreesboro and keep open Franklin. They agree that there is no comparison between the 2 stores. In my humble opinion I do believe you missed the mark on this decision. Oh well, it was to my advantage to shop there yesterday because it was recently announced to the employees at that store that it was going to be closed. Everywhere there were signs for 10% off ticketed prices except it was 20% off of rugs.
All in all, it was a great adventure seeking out the hidden treasures waiting for me to find. When Holy Spirit guides, He also provides. Sometimes the providing is not just monetary but hidden treasures that you just may need in the new season/adventure in your life that awaits you. Go explore with Holy Ghost and you will be glad you did.
Did I share my dad's pastel portrait in a new frame I purchased for it? It was kind of endearing as they removed the pastel portrait from the original frame and placed it in the new frame. I actually touched a part of the blue pastel color, and it rubbed off on my finger. I was able to touch a piece of family history that day. It amazed me how well preserved it is for the years since it was created. My father was younger in the picture and would have been 94 years old this June.

| I have tried to figure out who the artist was that signed the portrait but just cannot make out the signature. I think the softer colored wood frame makes the picture stand out much better than the original frame. |
