We continue to discover new things to do in and around Franklin.  Next post, we'll share some links for those places and some more pictures.  Meanwhile, the past six months have been grand. Thanks to our Knoxville children and their families for their constant love and support.  Such a blessing to serve and such a blessing to have support from our family.
