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.

How many more are you expecting?

Are you having fun yet?
I love how the neighborhoods come together during such huge storms.
We do the same down here during hurricanes.

Do you still like to shovel snow? Good job and a heck of a lot of work!

Hope you're OK. I hear you're suppose to get a lot more snow with this storm. We only got a few inches, but the wind was terrible. Looks like you will still have snow on the ground when spring gets here.

Got it done just in time! Hope it isn't too bad this time around.

Good idea to do the before and after. And the after is really something. The drifts! The wind! What will the aftermath be like tomorrow?

Your house is gorgeous - I love the colors you chose.

Hang in there - I'm sure you guys are so sick of snow. Hopefully it will be over soon.
