After lunch, we introduced the Graysons to an art supply store that our daughter, Allison really likes.  While there, the Governor of the state of Tennessee walked in to make a purchase.  I overheard the attendant ask him for his name.  Obviously, not recognizing who it was, he asked him to spell his name.  Then he asked him again.  I almost spoke up to inform the check-out clerk that he was dealing with the Governor!  This reminds me of the Bob Dole Visa Card television commercial where Senator Dole has to show his ID, even in his small home town in Kansas.

I wanted to speak to Governor Bredesen, having met him one time before when he was the mayor of Nashville while I was leading worship at Jubilee (at the Convention Center.)  However, he was in casual clothes and seemed to be enjoying a day off, so I spared him the encounter.

After we arrived home in this spring-like weather, I decided to capture a few bloooming Bradford Pears.
