Francine's Story

Life Life is good here in Orange County. My daughter is 27 and works part time while attending college. I adopted her when she was 15 months old and she's grown into a wonderful, young adult. I am very proud of her. I have been an elementary school teacher since graduating from College Park in 1977 - currently teaching 4th grade in southern California, which has been "home" since 1983. I was married to a career Marine Corps Officer for 25 years, been single for 15 years. I have a Welsh Corgi, a German Shepherd, two Gold...Expand for more
en Retrievers, an Aussie, 2 Maltese and a Bichon Havanese. Five of them are rescues. They keep life from being dull. I live near Anaheim and support the Angels, Ducks, and Lakers.

I don't get back to the Bethesda area as much as I would like to but keep in touch with my best friends from WJ, Beryl Horn-Hosack and Paul Shapiro. Through the magic of Facebook - ha ha - I keep in touch with many more.

View from my patio this evening. After a crazy day, this was very calming!
Katie and I went to Van Buren today. This is an Eagle Scout project outside my classroom. It honors a teacher who passed away from cancer a few years ago. She was an amazing teacher and one of my dearest friends. I miss her
Don’t let these innocent faces fool you! They have been eating the naval oranges - pulling them off the tree and eating them! Stinkers!
I’m sorry for all my friends with freezing temps! This is my front yard today...
Dedicated to a wonderful human being. This friendship bench was a vision she had. I’m so glad it’s become a reality.
When you have 8 dogs, the Christmas tree gets set up in the guest bedroom so the ornaments aren’t mistaken for chew toys! Love my pack, just don’t trust them!
Wonderful Christmas! When you have 8 dogs, the tree goes up in the front guest bedroom. Love my pack.... just don’t trust them... better safe than sorry!
Our annual Nutcracker Ballet today. Here’s my former students and honorary grand babies! Along with my friend and go-worker, Maryanne. Great performance, as usual. And my girls are growing up too quickly!
Tomorrow my little girl turns 25! Here we are at Van Buren today watching my class walk to PE.

Please say a prayer for all the firefighters out there tonight battling this horrific blaze.
OK. This is OCTOBER!! I know my palm trees won’t be changing colors but at least could it be in the 70’s or 80’s??? 😡
It’s always a joy to visit the Colombo family for their holiday open house. Hard to believe this handsome dad with his adorable son was once my student! So proud of him as he is completing his doctoral degree!
