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.

Morning Fog


This photo was taken thisat 0700 this morn off our back porch. The temp was around 54 and the ground fog was just starting to lift.
Chuck took this picture this morning. The flog was really beautiful. He got up early to go to work and his boss called and said that he decided not to work today but to go horsebackriding. Hopefully, Chuck will work tomorrow.
What beautiful weather we are having. Its been in the high 50's at night and loe 80's during the day. We got more badly needed rain yesterday. My kind of weather! Only 29% humidity. The view is much clearer of the mountains now that its not hot. Can't wait to see what the fall view will look like. We can see all the way to Ky from our back porch. I love my mountain home! Couldn't ask for a better place to live.
Haven't seen any deer out back in awhile I guess its been to hot for them. We should start seeing them more. There is a racoon that comes around just as the sun is setting and he goes over and eats any horse food that Jim drops. He used to come up on the porch and eat the cat food we left for the stray cats. Chuck has a hummingbird feeder just off the deck we keep it filled with sugar water for them. Its funny to see them fight over the feeder. Ther must be 8-10 of them. Haven't seen many lately so they may have started migrating south for the winter.
Had to put the older cats out on the porch. The 2 kittens are sick with an upper respiratory. I hope none of the other caught it. First Smokie got it we took her to the vet yesterday they gace her a shot and antibiotic to take. Now her litter mate is sick so they told us to give her the medication to. They are sneezing and eyes and nose watering. Hope they get well soon. The older cats think that they are being punished! Smile!
Talked to the oldest daughter last week and she has seen the Oncologist and the cancer is in the first stage. I told her to the sooner the better she start treatment. She turns 37 the 14th and said "What a birthday present!"
Well I want to get back to this baby afgan that I am crocheting for the younger daughter. I am having a problem with the pattern so I will have to work on it till I get it right. Baby is due the end of Oct. suppose to be a girl according to the sonogram.
