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.

Lovin' California

The laundry is done; the suitcases put away (at least mine are - Husb is flying out again tonight), the pictures are burned onto a disc, I've caught up on everyone's blog, and my desk is a mountain of mess.

We dodged the snow bullet last night and suffered only a dusting; today we continue with spring's bursting around us.  Helleborus, forsythia, dicentra --♫ March is busting out all over ♫.  Now if the temperatures would just rise a bit.  (Remind me I've said this when it's 90° here with matching humidity).

My sleep cycle is still off from being on the Left Coast; I can't get to sleep at night and then wake up on California time.  This should end soon especially since I'll return to the gym tomorrow. I intend to exercise myself into East Coast time.

Thought I'd share a few photos...
After Marge and Dave picked us up at the airport, we went to dinner at C Level on Harbor Island where we caught up and shared this spectacular view of San Diego.
Can you see the marine layer hovering over Point Loma, the Navy base, and then progressing toward downtown?

It dissipated as quickly as it appeared.
The next day we had a wonderful b-fast at To The Point.

And then headed for Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.  I shot these out the car window on the way...
We were greeted along the way by the 'waves' of these happy wind turbines.
