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 Mountain? What Mountain?

The new header photo taken atop Cadillac Mountain in Bar Harbor, was the only thing we could see.  The fog was so thick I wound up buying postcards of Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain as we could barely see our bus to reboard.  Truthfully, we could barely see the hands in front of our faces!   However, back in Bar Harbor, we were able to enjoy the beautiful town center.


Below is the Margaret Todd, a schooner we had booked to view lighthouses, but the weather was cold and rainy, so we bagged it and enjoyed walking through the quaint town, and sitting down to a lobster roll lunch on the wharf.  The rock 'bar' behind the schooner is how this port got its name.  It is only fully visible during low tide.



Next, we head to St. John, New Brunswick and a whale of a good time.
