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.

Did you know that there is relief in the form of www.catalogchoice.org?  All one does is log onto the site, and follow the prompt to find the and eliminate catalogs you no longer wish to receive.  It helps a little if you have the catalogs handy for the customer numbers, but these #s are not necessary to complete the forms. One can also log on in the future to change/add preferences.   I'd put off doing this for about a year, not realizing how easy it was.  The companies promise to stop sending the catalogs within 90 days.  We'll see...
