Where is Homeland Security when we need them? 2012-03-15 - Rowe Farms, 909 Keltner Road, Columbia, KY - Photo from Freddy Rowe. Is there a cryptographer in the house?. We have not one notion of an ide of what is on Billy Rowe's boy's mind - maybe the Venerable Jim or somebody up at the college will know. Maybe someone with a proper Ar-Kansas education. This message was received this morning. Could be subversive or could be just something as innocent as the cat's in heat. -CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Never too many daffodils: Even Presbyterian ones 2012-03-15 - 300 block, Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. These enormous daffodils are blooming at the Columbia-Union Presbyterian manse in the 300 block of Burkesville Street. The photo is for Linda, who says one can never have too many grandchildren or see too many daffodils, including Presbyterian ones, though, of all denominational blooms, she's probably most partial to the random clumps growing in her home church, Sulphur Well United Methodist Church in Metcalfe County, KY.

Help: Carly may have been dognapped 2012-03-15 - W. Guardian Street, Columiba, KY - Photo by Helen Williams. Helen Williams writes: Mom (Margie Williams) actually believes that Carly, her one year old golden retriever was taken from her home (200 West Guardian Street) in which case, I doubt this will help much, but Mom would really like her home. In case whoever took her decides she's too much trouble and lets her loose: She's wearing an orange collar with her name, Carly, on it and Mom's phone number (270) 250-4044. Any other ideas to help find her would be appreciated. I'm going to contact the shelter today, as well. Thanks. I'm sorry I don't have better pictures of Carly. She is such a fast mover that most of what I have of her is video. I'll keep looking. The photo is from where she greeted me one day coming in the garage at mom's. She's just a big ole baby. Help, please. Thank you. -Helen Williams Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
