Mumbai, Dec 20 (IANS) Hollywood actress Ashley Judd recently paid a visit to her ancestral home in Kentucky, and recollected what her childhood looked like in the neighbourhood.

She also penned a long note in the caption, as she wrote, “Eastern Kentucky. My ancestral home. Avalon. My people, early 1700’s. Pike County Martin County Lawrence County Eventually, Boyd County, when Ashland, a small white town, was founded on Shawnee ancestral land. For this visit, I “batched” my maternal great grandparent’s house, Central Park, where I bought snow cones for 25 cents & rode my bike, (& my dad played Little League & my Papaw coached), Winchester Avenue, were both my Papaw’s had their small businesses, Armco Steel, where my great granddaddy Roy Ogden worked for 40 years”.
She further mentioned, “There is so much to remember & feel when I visit my home places. How many good cookies can I actually savor & metabolize in one day? Memories are like that, too! Tempo & pacing let me go deeper. Say no, to make space For more Yes. (I’ll be so glad when my episode of ‘Finding Our Roots’ on PBS airs, & I can show you more about one of my most extraordinary Pike County great grand mommies)”.
