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.

It's Not All Been Bad

It's not all been bleak as three weeks ago the stork brought Tyler to DIL Jennie and son Michael.  And so we have another bundle to love and spoil.  Our Ariana's take on her new cousin?  When her mother was holding the baby, Ariana said, "Mommy, put that thing down."  We'll be working on this.


Doing well with the physical therapy. And am learning patience.  My new knee celebrates it's one month birthday this week.  We'll celebrate with German chocolate cake, I think.  Or we'll skip the cake and just eat that wonderful pecan/coconut icing.
