Welcome Aboard

About Us

My photo
I'm Cathy, a 67 year old retired Navy wife. Spent 24 years as a Navy wife until my husband retired after 27 years of service. We traveled all over from Washington D.C., to Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Maartin, Martinique, Japan and Korea. We re-located to this beautiful state of TN from Central FL. We live in the mountains on 5 acres with our 10 cats (5 indoor). I'm Chuck, the Other Half of the equation. I'm a 68 y/o sailor at heart. While in the Navy I was a Cryptologic Tech (Intel type). My most memorable tours of duty were in Submarines (Scorpion, Skipjack, Triton & Ray), as Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Deputy Director National Security Agency (RADM C.F. Clark), and my last tour as Operations Chief at NSGA Homestead, Fl during Hurricane Andrew. It was a good time to retire. We have been looking for this home since 1965 and thank the good Lord that we're finally here.

Chuck put some new pictures on here and I noticed the one of the kitchen is one we took the first time we looked at the house. That is not how my kitchen looks now so will have him put a recent pic on here.

The kittens are much bigger now about 4 months old and growing. Will have to take some new pictures of them. Our 10 month old cat Bandit really enjoys playing with the kittens (they are both females). At least he doesn't bother the older ones as much now. The old guy is 14 1/2 and would rather sleep then run. Smile! At least he gets a bit of exercise when Bandit starts chasing him. Bandit is an unusual cat he sucks his tail. Never seen one do that. He seems to do it less now that he has new playmates. Chuck got him for me last Dec. because he reminded him of our old cat Skeeter that we had to put to sleep in 2004 he was nearly 15. Have the Mama cat and her brother out on the back porch. Got them fixed over a week ago free through the Human Society in another county. Our vet wanted $55 to do the female and $35 to do the male. I hope that there is funding when I need to get the two females done in 2 months. I hope to find homes for them. Plan to put an ad up a the Vet in town. At least they were both negative for feline leukemia. They will have to be

We will be having 100 degree + weather all week it may get back in the 90's by the weekend. We need rain so badly haven't had any for a couple of week. The weather seems to be crazy every where this year. The humidity isn't high so it doesn't feel as hot. But I am ready for the fall weather. People here are saying that the fall colors may not be as pretty here since its been so dry.

The kittens are cute. I thought of getting one for Aynslee but our dog Rory has never been around cats. So I thought it might not be a good idea.

I to am ready for some fall weather but in FL that will be a while.
