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.

Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

Well our furnace is fixed. They came yesterday afternoon and installed th new part just in time for the cold weather that we are expecting. They still think that it will snow on Christmas day. Its really nice to have the whole house warm again. I couldn't get my crafts finished because the other rooms were so cold. And working out in the main area with the cats getting into everything forget it! Still have more sewing to do for the new grandaughter. I see her on the web cam all the time. She sure is a chubby little thing with lotz of hair. She will be 2 months old on the 27th and I am dying to see her and hold her! Sigh!

Got my baking finished today. We only have 2 close neighbors so I baked chocolate chip cookies and lemon bars and made them a couple of towels and crocheted little Christmas stocking ornaments and a small Victorisn Christmas tree. After the holidays there will be no more sweets in the house! Ha! We plan to diet!

Made all the cats a little cat nip toy even the stray that is outside. Hope they will all tire themselves out tonight and stop running around the house. They get pretty noisey almost like having kids in the house! Ha!

Its hard to believe that Christmas is less than 3 days away. It came up on me so fast this year. Last year we were getting ready for the move to TN. Don't want to move for a long, long time!

Well its time to make my delivery of the goody bag. Hope everyone has a wonderfull Christmas and New Years.

I would LOVE a white Christmas. Glad the heat is fixed.

We are all doing a bit better. Avery and myself. Josh's throat is better. Aynslee is still coughing. We are having trouble getting her to eat. I bought juice boxes to get her to drink. If I still can't get her to eat tomorrow I am thinking of taking her in so they can look at her throat. She's still running a low grade temp too.

Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy all that snow for me.
