The thousand word photograph 2017-05-21 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com . This photo really does provide, as the old saying goes, a thousand words to help me remember this recent visit by our granddaughters and grand-dog and all that means to me. First and foremost are Hailey with her hand on the leash, at left, and Tillie with her hand stroking Churchill the dog's soft hair, and the nail polish on those sweet hands reminds me how fast the grandchildren are growing up! Churchill's story is that he's the first family dog in many years and where he goes, also goes his water and food dishes. In the picture, he hasn't noticed - nor yet eaten - the pink socks nor little girl's black shoes beside his dishes in the lower left corner. The socks and shoes go with the bare feet in the upper right of the picture. It looks like he is, however, considering taking a bite of Granddad's vest coat hanging on the daybed post at left, since at Churchill's tender age, everything he comes into contact with is a potential toy to be eaten or food to be tested. In the background are more stories, the spiral staircase that has been a good climbing spot for two generations now, and the little blue couch that my Mom, Geniece Marcum, felt we needed when she lived here and added to the decor of the house. The number of quilts under the girls suggests it's still one of the Kentucky winters, possibly dogwood or blackberry, and the covers are still out by necessity. The quilt draped in front has its own wonderful thousand-word story that my husband or one of his siblings will have to fill in -- it came to our house by way of inheritance from their mother, Audrey Chelf Waggener, and was likely designed and stitched by the hands of the women in one of those families either in the Knifley or Garlin sections of Adair County. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
