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.

Pride Goeth Before the Fall

Here I was thinking I was 'all that' -- as I'm walking through the Mall looking for the Godiva store.  I thought I'd buy the nurses who took care of me some chocolate.  I'd fixed my hair, was wearing my favorite color top -- turquoise (do they still call it that?) and a pair of black 'pedal pushers' (do they still call them that?²)

In spite of the directory and the internet directions (and my memory), the store was not there, but replaced by a huge sign "GODIVA CHOCOLATIERS -- COMING SOON!!"  This was just bizarre -- sort of backwards deja vu.

So I strutted my stuff over to Macy's and Nordstrom's to no avail.   They had Godiva stuff, but not what I had in mind.  I decided to go home and order it off the internet.

When I got home I changed my clothes to discover the whole time I was out one of my fuzzy slipper socks was caught in my pant leg in what must have looked like a large growth on the back of my leg.  Cute, huh?
