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.

If it's cold enough to freeze off my derriere, why is it still taking up so much space?

And so the cold snap continues.
I thought I'd share some of our photos from Florida (where I understand it's cold as well).

These two Jack Russell terriers were sitting in the back of their masters' boat in Marco Island.

Marge, Dave, and Richard discuss our itinerary for the day.


My version of Monet's water lilies.


Naples, Florida is a hoppin'!


David, Marge, and Sous Chef Brad outside the Jolly Cricket in Naples.

Moss and bromeliad.


Shells on Sanibel Island.


A Northern Flicker taps for me.
