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.

Christmas Time

 
Well it's that time of year again.  Time to get ready for this years celebration and, for us, to remember Christmas's past.  I took this pic of Jim on Christmas day 2007.  He's been gone a year this past August and boy do we miss him.  I'm about ready to put up the outside decorations and yesterday, saturday, Cathy and I went to a Christmas tree farm and looked at trees.  We're gonna get one about 14 December.  Looks like the kids/grandkids won't be here this year so it'll just be Cathy and I.

 
We've always enjoyed ourselves.  I've invited Ken, my work buddy, to spend Christmas with us and I'm pretty sure he'll be able to make it.  Cathy already has the meal planned and I know it'll be great, it always is.  Doesn't look like we'll get snow but we'll keep our fingers crossed.  Ain't nothing like a white Christmas.  So - Here's to all our family and friends -  May you all have a safe and very merry Christmas and a happy new year.  God bless all
