A Fairplay Christmas: A scene ready to come to life in the movies



2010-11-25 . Fairplay, Adair Co., KY
It appears to be a title scene ready to be animated in a Christmas movie. All the figures are alert in reverent or expectant waiting: The madonna and the Christ Child, the angel figure and the little children, Emmitt Otter's mother Alice, white stockinged tabby cat, and the black dog. Something big is coming down. On the left, Ladybug, the only fully alive creature in the scene, guards the little band. There may be another storyboard for the scene. It's the artwork of Twila Phillips. The Alice Otter figure has invaluable provenance. It was given to Twila's husband, by Myrtle Jessee, the long time USDA supervisor in Columbia for whom Darrell worked before her retirement. Miss Jessee now lives in Glasgow, KY, Twila Phillips said. There's been a major change since the picture was taken, Twila said. "Ladybug is not as alert as she was then. Age has slowed her down." Clicking Readmore accesses a mostly unrelated story, but one Ladybug seems destined to illustrate, Chuck Hinman's "Thank God for Pets."

The annual Thanksgiving Day joke

This just in from Jim, from a fellow he knows about but shan't identify:
The fellow says, "This is my annual November joke:
I asked my mother-in-law's daughter if she wanted a turkey for Thanksgiving. She rolled her eyes, looked at me, heaved a sigh of Biblican proportions, and said, "I've got a year-'round turkey. Why would I want another one?" I haven't a clue about what she was talking. -The Fellow.
The Fellow tells the aforesaid every Thanksgiving, laughing more uncontrollably with each repetition, reveling in his own wit. "It's downright embarrassing," Jim says.

100 years ago: Thanksgiving in Adair Co., KY

"Educated turkeys have been roosting higher than is customary for several days in and around Roy. (From the Roy community newsletter. This odd phenomenon was also reported in the Cyclone community.)

Thank God For Pets (a Thanksgiving story)

After the wonderful meal enjoyed at the Tallgrass Thanksgiving 2005 Buffet came the traditional afterglow time with family in my apartment.

I didn't sleep well last night mostly because I was having seconds on some of the wonderful things we had talked about. We got around to re-living what an important part our pets play in our day to day life.

Metcalfe Co. Rescue house has proven its need, already

The hope had been that it would never have to be used - just be there in case it was needed. Unfortunately, the need has come early. Fortunately, the rescue house was there when needed

Comments re article 39657 Metcalfe CoSC Rescue House is 1st in the State of Kentucky

Tami Gearlds writes:The fire rescue house is a wonderful amazing thing to have happened for Metcalfe County.

As of today we have had 2 families who have already used the home. We hoped that we would never have to use it, just to have it there just in case.
