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.

A Short One -- Literally!

My last post was a bit long. Yes, yes, it was, so I thought I'd reward you all with a tidier message this time.
Here is our grand daughter, now almost 17 months old. She's speaking in sentences, albeit short ones, but sentences nevertheless, and refers to my husband as Poppy and to me as Kath -- and we both melt. Her favorite word is "again" - usually referring to the Toyota Prius commercial that we have recorded on Tivo for her.
Who needs Fisher Price and expensive toys when you have Tupperware or canned goods?
