2012 Memorial Day Service - Columbia, Adair Co., KY 2012-05-27 - 413 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Melissa Stone. Memorial Day Services at the Columbia VFW Post 6097 were special this year, with only brief - but essential high points of the program held outside by the monument at the entrance to the fairground. Earlier, the crowd had convened in the air conditioned comfort of the VFW Post Hall next door for the introductions, prayers, and the main address by VFW Vice Commander Fred Troutman. The split venue was an innovation by Post Commander Joe Hare, who made the change in anticipation of the sweltering mid-90s late spring heat. Otherwise, it was a perfect day.

Tillie acknowledges Mema at 1st Birthday party 2012-05-27 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Tillie took time away from opening presents - even this favorite sock monkey one, to acknowledge her Mema, who was also taking photos. Her first birthday was a major event, with lots of Waggener and Powell family first cousins and other kin for brunch, a yard party and the opening of her Olympic 3-ft wading pool, and the gift opening. Columbia guests who drove 87 miles to adore her were amazed at the progress she's made: She walks, loves to dance, and her vocabulary has expanded beyond "uh-o," and "Da" to color identification including "pu'ple," to true Southern Belle "Thank you." Tough judges that they are, her Columbia grandparents and Great Mema were seriously impressed. - Granddad, Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
