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.

1st Big Snow

This is our 1st big snow of 2010. It's been snowing off and on for 3 days now. We've got anywhere from 5 - 8 inches of snow on the ground now and it's still snowing. Supposed to stop about 10 pm tonight - then start again on wed and thursday. Oh Well. It's almost winter. Hope it sticks around thru Christmas - Love white Christmas's. Been kinda getting cabin fever lately cause of the weather. Even Jim stays in his stall rather than brave the cold and snow. I started feeding him in his stall to keep him out of the cold wind. Did go and winterize the pontoon yesterday and put the winter cover on it. This was our first time putting the cover on and it may be on backwards. It fit at any rate but had to tie it down cause it doesn't have snaps. Got it done anyway. Had my sister, Diane, down for Thanksgiving. Was really nice. Her son, Robert, was going to Ohio so we met them just outside of Lexington, Ky and brought Diane to our house. Robert stopped by on his way back home on Saturday and the left for Illinois on Sunday. Don't look like we gonna have any company for Christmas as we haven't heard from Kristy in a bit. I guess we'll survive but we sure miss the Grandkids at Christmas.

Looks pretty, but not so nice to drive in.
