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.

Catchin' Up


Whew! The Holidays are over and are we ever glad. Our's was kind of a drag without the kids and grand kids, but we survived. We celebrated the New Year at home by ourselves with a bottle of good wine and some movies. We're finding out that we're not the late nighters we used to be nor are we early risers either. Chuck's just finishing up a small construction job in Spruce Creek and probably won't work again until sometime in March when the weather warms up. Right now it's not all that cold but it sure is wet and muddy which makes a worksite dangerous, especially when using heavy equipment. Chuck went hunting for arrowheads today and found some off the beaten path. The first pic below is the point before he took it out of the ground. You never know if it's a rock or an artifact until you pick it up. He's found some interesting stuff lately but hasn't been able to classify it to a time period yet. Most of these finds will date from 3,000 to 5,000 years ago.
