About Me

My photo
I am a retired English teacher and department head, the mother of three grand mother of four, and have been married to the same man for 53 years, two years after we met at college. I taught in both middle and high schools as I really love teens and in-betweens. I was also a certified Lamaze instructor, and for a short time a volunteer chaplain at Howard County General Hospital. I am a two-time cancer survivor, ovarian (2003), and breast (2019) I was born in South Philadelphia and grew up in the 'burbs with great parents, in a bilingual household. I love soft pretzels and cheesesteaks, the Phillies, the Eagles, the Orioles, and sometimes the Ravens. I love being Mom, Aunt Kathy, Nona Kathy (Kath), and Teacher. I spend a lot of time in my gardens in the spring and summer, and in the winter I plan what I'm going to plant. I also am an avid reader, cook, photographer, lover of languages, music, and four-footed furries.

I love your home! That color is one of my favorite colors to paint a house. And your Christmas evergreens just add to its coziness. If I was driving by, I would definately say how pretty your house is.

Your house is beautiful! The snow and decorations are so festive. We didn't get any snow - only cold rain.

You have a beautiful house Kathy! It looks fantastic all dressed-up for Christmas! The snow looks so pretty, too! The room with all the windows and the cast iron stove is so cozy.

The photos of your decorated home could grace a Christmas Card. So very pretty and welcoming. Here in Perth, Ontario the amount of snow you received would be considered a "dusting!"
