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 Indicators











Besides the weather change, you can always tell when fall has arrived by the tobacco harvest in our area. The leaves turn a yellow color and begin to wilt. The farmers harvest the leaves and hang them out to dry, some on covered tobacco racks and others in tobacco barns. The fall colors haven't been all that great this year, partly due to the dry weather we've had over the past few months. The leaves are drying up and falling off before they change color so it isn't as pretty as we're used to seeing. Still, fall is definately here. Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner and Christmas isn't too far off either. Election Day is quickly closing on us and God only knows what's gonna happen with this election. We're both doing well and have faired another year inspite of the economic trouble. Hopefully next year will be better.
