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.

My Other Sunshine...

I didn't have this photo yesterday or I would have posted it, too. This is my older grand daughter (my son's daughter)(the baby is my daughter's daughter) in her new uniform, on her way to her first day in her new school.

Yes, I believe that both girls look a lot like me -- poor babies!-- or at least Arianos. Those genes are really strong. And both girls look a lot like each other -- we can't tell their baby pics apart.
