Happy Birthday John R. Pendleton!

2018-05-24 - Russell Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by longtime friend Dr. Ronald Rogers
When it's your 74th birthday, you can wear a red nose if you want to, and nobody gets to say a word. However, a good friend can stop by with his camera phone and snap an innocent picture, as Ronald Rogers did today of Columbia CPA John Pendleton in his red nose, and that's just fine. Texting the picture to ColumbiaMagazine.com to share with the world may get said friend in trouble with the birthday boy, that will be in a follow up later. Meanwhile, everyone who knows John is wishing him an incredible birthday! - LW

Now open -- and opening more every day are these incredible roses at Columbia's historic Trabue Russell House. It's worth a visit and a stroll through the gardens in front, on the Jamestown Street side and even around back thanks to the volunteers in the Adair County Garden Club. - LW
