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.

♪♪ In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle, the Lion Sleeps Tonight...♫♫

Okay, it's not the jungle, but our back yard -- my 'turtle' garden to be exact, and it's not a lion, but a fox -- a young one, I think.  But this is what grand daughter and I saw  - not 10 feet from the house - when we went into the back room.  I know these are TERRIBLE photos, but 1)  Ariana and I didn't want to spook him; and 2) it's through windows and a screen and at dusk; and okay 3) I'm still a lousy shot with the zoom lens of my camera.




We also visited two of our grands on Easter.  The wee one didn't get an Easter basket like his sister and cousin did, but he got some nice outfits.

Son, Michael, with Boh

Nonna Kathy gets in some hugs...

And gets a smile!

And then delivers an Easter basket to Ariana
