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.

♫♫C'mon People Now; Smile On Your Brother, Everybody Get Together♫♫

Well the computer issues are resolved (my mouth to God's ear).  Much of the problem were updates that were waiting in some clandestine line to happen.  Accessing, reading, and commenting on all of your blogs was being thwarted by Firefox.  The updates are accomplished and I have a new browser and new security installed.


I played hooky today from the gym and my boxing session.  What I did do was finish writing/stuffing/and mailing the invitations to my DIL's baby shower and made a vegetable run to Trader Joe's where I bought shrimp, a fennel bulb, butternut squash, and a bag of broccoli and cauliflower florets.  We had a very veggie dinner tonight in front of a roaring fire (purposeful) ☺.  Now it's only  8:15 and feels like it's midnight.  This early darkness makes me want to hibernate.


We attended a Halloween Parade on Monday at the little one's school.  So cute.  All of the kids 'marched' out of the school building into the courtyard where skads of parents/grandparents awaited.  The wee ones looked a bit overwhelmed but caught on quickly and were all so adorable.  


Ariana shocked us by wearing the whole costume -- including the wig.


Here's another parade -- no candy, though.  Richard snapped this while he was doing an audit in DC.  Our Democracy in action.  Reminds me of the 60s.  Peace and far out!!
