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.

Foot's Forecast Was Right!

Foot's Forecast  predicted we'd get snow in this area around 10:00 AM this morning and they were right.  We've had enough to make the roads slick, people panic, and have my dear husband stuck on Eastern Shore for the night.  This is what it looked like about a half hour after it started snowing...

So what did I do today?  I baked pizzelles to send to my brother in Atlanta.  It's a surprise, but  he never reads my blog so I can mention it freely.

I'll bake some other things so the pizzelles won't be lonely on their trip South.

It's cold enough that I've got two fires going -- one here and one out on the porch.  See our herd of reindeer?

Here's our decorated tree...
 
                    Our Santas...
Our creche -- which a friend of ours purchased from a craftsman in Peru.
And the house at night...
