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.

Sunshine on My Shoulder Makes Me Happy

We're home -- safe and proverbially sound -- to warmer weather. Today we're enjoying sunshine and 65° temps; tomorrow and Friday should be even closer to 70!
Sarasota and Siesta Key are beautiful -- and have definitely made our list of "places to return".  The sunshine and warmth -- although a bit fleeting -- raised our spirits.  So equipped with a camera, my walking shoes, and SPF 70, I hit the beach...
The view from the lanai!

The Gulf was peaceful for the first two days --and a nippy 56°.

Siesta Key's Crescent Beach to the north.  Wonderful sand -- very white, powdery and great to walk on.

And to the south

Anna Maria Island on Long Boat Key and a very angry Gulf of Mexico

I look forward to catching up with all of you and your blogs over the next few days.  Blessings, Kathy
