Scenic Adair Co., KY: These special places 2012-05-22 - OKCC, 2339 Campbellsville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. When people outside Adair County tell us, 'I love Betty's,' and add, 'I wish we had one here,' I always smile a smug smile. Probably no other place is so analyzed by others who try to learn and profit from her secret. It's not just her food; Chris Rowe was right when he said that 'OK' is not the proper word for it. It's too good for that. There are so many reasons. It is a special place, for one very big reason. It's continuous theatre, from the ever changing patriotic, sports, and Christian themes in proper and seasonal rotation, it is, to borrow from Mrs. Giles, that it is the all-outest place around. Right now, the extravagant hospitality extends to the floral welcome. And, if you're lucky, provenance for each plant is provided by the owner. Yes, the Western Omelet was the best I ever ate. That would be a given. The information passed on by other guests was invaluable. But the big bonus was Betty, giving my favorite mother in law and first wife personal tour of this one garden. It was special. For that, thanks, Betty. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Favorite old photo: Watson family 2012-05-21 - Melson Ridge Road, Adair County, KY - Photo from Joyce Reeder collection; photographer unknown. Joyce Reeder sends this favorite old photo from the Melson Ridge area of South Adair County, KY. In front are William (Bill) Watson and wife, Arminta (Minnie) Bunch Watson. Their daughters are in the back, but I don't know which is which. (From Mike Watson: left to right: Lily, Ella, and Lela.) I am thinking the one in the middle is Aunt Ella but not sure. Son is William Watson. Lela Watson Reeder is my grandmother. The family lived in the Melson Ridge area of Adair County, Kentucky. I would appreciate it if anyone could identify the daughters. Thank you. - Joyce Reeder Clicking ReadMore accesses letter from Historian Mike Watson with more on photo. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
