Welcome Aboard

We would like to welcome you to Cathy and Chuck's blog. We try to make at least twice monthly entries but sometimes get lax and neglect our blog. BUT we try to make up for it with hopefully interesting and informative articles. Happy Reading

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.

Fall Changes






The fall colors are starting to set in here on the mountain. Farther down the mountain the colors are almost in full swing and are really pretty. Everything is getting ready for the colder weather and winter hibernation (Toad in top pic). We'll get some full folliage pics off the back porch as soon as the weather clears. It's overcast and raining right now and we really need the rain. Tennessee is about 16 inches behind the annual norm for this year. We're in a severe drought. We went to Muddy Pond today to do some seasonal shopping and visited a sorghum mill, where they process the cane into syrup. Will post some pics of that excursion as soon as we get them back. Like a dummy, I didn't take the digital camera so we have to wait for developing.
