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.

Pots Gone Wild!!

Upon reading my last post, I realize how didactic I may sound and need to add that while I believe strongly in marriage, I believe more strongly in commitment.  However, I believe when two people cannot work out their problems it is best to split. What I don't believe in is infidelity.  And I don't like Nicholas Sparks' novels.  I think them mawkish.

This morning marked the first day of classes in our county and as we have for the last three years,  retirees met (this year there were 15 of us) for breakfast and a toast (pun intended) to all of our colleagues still in the classroom. 

Before I post the photos from our Naples, Florida trip, I thought I'd share the two pots on my front steps.  Originally, I feared they wouldn't 'fill in.' Oh me of little faith....
