Matilda Ann Christmas visit to Columbia 2015-01-11 - Photo By Ed Waggener. Matilda Ann Waggener visited her grandparents in Columbia today, sharing great thoughts and rediscovering the Town Creek. She is wearing her cozy travel blanket in the arms of her dad, Tom, as they prepare for the journey home to Shelbyville. She has reached a mature age where she asks that her whole name to be used now, Matilda Ann, not just her nickname Tillie. The announcement reminded her Granddad of Carson McCullers' book A Member of the Wedding where the main character, Frankie, demanded to be called F. Jasmine Adams. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

There are many great animals at the shelter, but I wanted to bring attention to this very sweet cat. His name is Fuzzball. He is a long hair orange adult cat, already neutered and front paw declawed. He has been adopted once and now is back at the shelter! I don’t know why, he is very friendly. He doesn’t mind being held and he purrs and purrs. Come meet Fuzzball and perhaps youll bring a new family member home!

Happy Tale: Dog life on Top of the World, at Sugarfoot 2015-01-11 - Sugarfoot Farm Rescue, 860 Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Peg Schaeffer. Keith trying to get the blanket away from Elmo. Eden Bradshaw had donated her birthday presents to the dogs and Elmo grabbed one of the blankets and took off. It took us quite a while to get it away from him. I guess he wanted to be the first one to sleep on it. - Peg Schaeffer Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Salad Bar a hit at Harvest Cafe 2015-01-11 - Harvest Cafe, 212 Public Square, Columbia, kY - Photo CM staff photo. After a full year of operation under the current management, and several directional changes, Harvest Inn has found a solid niche, offering immediate meals with its soup, and built to taste all you can eat salad bar, along with three minute service on custom made sandwiches. It seems to be one of the things Downtown Columbia was wanting all along. Owner Steve Chundy is very optimistic about 2015. The Downtown Dining scene is already looking good for the coming year. A Mexican restaurant is being readied for opening in a matter of days or weeks, and the anchor restaurant, Moore's Poolroom & lunch is thriving as never before. Who knows? Maybe this is the year for Columbia to get that top floor private club, like the Pendennis, a banquet/theatre/reunion hall on the second floor of the courthouse, that Korean restaurant we're all wanting. That's all CM has on its wish list. Maybe someone else has better ideas for this promising year. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
