Epicurean Kentuckian: The Vindication of Johnny Vaughn 2013-01-06 - 202 W. Main Street, Stanford, KY. - Photo by Ed Waggener. It got off to a rocky start, but Linda and I finally vindicated the restaurant review authority of Johnny Vaughn, the celebrated Adair County raconteur, game food expert, and charter member of the Blue Ribbon Bear Board. To celebrate the victory over skepticism, we liberated one of the blueberry/strawberry cheese danishes from this cake stand prison, to take home and enjoy as a last supper Saturday night in Columbia, along with quite excellent take away coffee. Both made it almost 10 of the miles to Danville. Awesome. At The Bluebird - Southern Breakfast and Lunch, 202 W. Main, Stanford, KY. Phone 606-365-1010. - ED WAGGENER. If you go: The Blue Bird is about 1 hour and 15 minutes away by the proper, historic route up KY 206, 54.7 miles from 212 Public Square, Columbia, KY. It's closed Sundays. Open 7amET/4pmCT, Mondays through Saturdays. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Stanford, KY: Could 1776 residents have envisioned this 2013-01-06 - Buffalo Springs Cemetery, Stanford, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. One has to wonder seeing this compressed view of the jewel of the Bluegrass if the organizers of Buffalo Springs Cemetery could have foreseen, in 1776, the town of today, and one has to go away believing that yes, they did, and were willing to let it reach a goal of near perfection even if it took over 236 years to reach what it is today. Timeless elements, like the Lincoln County courthouse, the large tower in the mid-left, and the steeple of the Presbyterian Church, abound. Perhaps it is the lay of the land, situated at the juncture of Central Kentucky Bluegrass and the blue foothills, top of frame, of the Eastern Kentucky Mountains, which give it a special dynamic. Time was, Stanford was more familiar to Adair Countians. Time was, highway 206 was Stanford Road. But changing highway travel routes for Columbians mostly bypass Lincoln County. And that's a shame. For anyone wanting to discover it, Stanford and Lincoln County are close enough to be one of the best things about Columbia/Adair County.

Happy Horses - A picture for Me Mum 2013-01-06 - Between Eunice & Dunnville, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Horses remind me of Me Mum, Geniece Marcum. These two were enjoying a sunny Saturday, January 5, 2013, on the road between Eunice in Adair County and the tri-counties center Dunnville in Casey County. We saw many beautiful black and white horses yesterday, but none with such a bright white blaze face as this one in the foreground, who was friendly enough, though he didn't rise to greet us, as I know he would have done for my mother. - LINDA WAGGENER Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
