“We are all God’s people — black, white, gay, straight, Christian, Jew. … No one is better than anyone else. …Be kind to everyone.” ~ Andigoni “Goldie” Ticco Steffa
Tuesday’s child
This is the sixth Tuesday in a row that I’ve had a major headache. Today’s version started off relatively small but turned into a migraine before the workday end. This weanling was smiling at me, and when you feel as bad as I have for the last six Tuesdays, you need a little weanling smile. I mean, how cute is he? Pretty darned cute!

Thank you for including these parting words of my mom, who was proud of being born and raised in Jenkins,Ky. Although she left when she was 19 and lived to be 6 days short of 93, she attributed all of her talents and interests to her life with her family (Albanian immigrants)and her life in Jenkins- the wonderful school system and the people. I read your post about the churches of Jenkins. We are Eastern Orthodox but my mom and her family attended all those churches regularly with fond memories.
How did you come across this quote from my beloved mother?
I work at UK Libraies’ Nunn Center for Oral History where interviews with your mother crossed my desk. This quote in particular was shared with me by her Interviewer, Zada Komara, whom adored your mother. Rightfully so!
