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.

This weather is crazy. One day it is freezing - the next it's unseasonably warm, like yesterday. It was 74 and we just had to take advantage of it an get out on the boat again. It was a bit cooler on the lake but it wasn't cold. We did some fishing with surface lures but didn't catch anything. Chuck had a bass hit his lure. It came completely out of the water but didn't hold on. Might have been a keeper. Ah Well - that's fishin for ya. Looks like Friday might be another warm day so we won't cover the boat just yet. When we get ready to winterize it, it has a cover to help minimize the weathering process during the winter. Anyway - have to go to Knoxville today to get Chuck measured for his tux for Stephen's wedding in May. It's about a 2 hour drive but it's the closest Men's Wearhouse to us.
