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.

Beware of Sweet Little Ones Bearing Gifts


See these two?  They look innocent enough, don't they??  :)  Well they are, but as the saying goes, little ones are petri dishes.  And our sweetnesses are no different.


We had a lovely today together on Tuesday.  Both children were healthy.  Our son, Tyler's dad, was sick, and recuperating from a killer, head-filled-with- cotton-cold.   On Wednesday, my throat was raw and my eyes began to water.  Thursday I developed a dry cough.  Friday was more of the same and today I feel like I've been run over by a bus. 

It's been a very gray winter here in Maryland, which is really hard on the psyche.  The substantial snows have missed us, but I can't remember a year that was more GRAY than this one.  And today is no different.  I've been knitting scarves, reading, and playing Words With Friends.  Consequently, my derriere is the size of Montana -- no disrespect to that beautiful and wide state.   I think the time spent at the computer is directly correlated to the width of the seat and I've been here a lot.  It's my connection with the world!!

Just today I received lovely emails from Religious Mingles, people who wanted to increase my husband's anatomy,  someone selling me Canadian pharmaceuticals, a respected lawyer wanting to know if I'd like to sue over my mesh implant (don't have one),  a prince from Somalia who wants to deliver a substantial bank deposit to me, and Dr. Oz selling green coffee pills guaranteed to shave my rump from Montana to Rhode Island.  (They didn't.  If anything we're looking more like the Louisiana Purchase).  Maybe Sensa?

If you'll  excuse me, I have more scarves to knit...
