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.

Trip to Cookville

We drove to Cookville today. Chuck goes to the blood bank and donates platelets for cancer patients. I think they may also use them for Aides patients as well. When he donated in FL if you had someone who needed platelets, you could donate in their name. Just had to give the blood bank their name and what facility they were receiving treatment at. I think he did this for 2 people we knew. The patient doesn't get charged for the platelets this way. This place Chuck donates to in Cookville doesn't do this but said that they would send her a check for whatever the normal charge is to the person. Will see how that works if lisa needs platelets.

I went to Penneys to get my haircut while Chuck was donating then walked around and checked out the sales. Bougt 2 baby outfits and 2 baby t-shirts. In addition to the clearance price I had a coupon for an extra 15% off so only paid $6 for all 4 pieces! Wish that had more but I think last weekend was their big clearance sale. We also stopped at Sams and bought a few things thats our closest Sams.

Chuck and I were talking about Lisa today and its ovarian cancer that they think she has not breast cancer as I thought. I just hope that they can get it in time. We are waiting to hear back from her as to what is going on.
