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.

Spring Snow

Wow - Just when we thought it was safe to go out in the yard ----DUM - - - DA DUM - - - DA DUM, here it comes again.   We just can't seem to get rid of this stuff.  Enough already.  I'm ready to get my boat out of the slip and get to fishin'.  I'm gettin' cabin fever.  This is what I found when I went out on the front porch to put up my flag.



Ah Well,  I guess it could be worse.  We only got 2 - 3inches of the white stuff.  My sister, who lives in central western Illinois got about 10 inches.  Even the birds have been caught off guard.  However, I still haven't seen any of the hummingbirds yet.  They seem to have put off their arrival due to weather changes, maybe.  Last year they were already here and getting ready to nest. 
On to a lighter note -  When I had breakfast this morn, my little buddy, Bandit joined me for a bite.



He tries to sneak around about it by just barely peeking over the table top.  He does this every morning.  Course, I don't help any by feeding him some of my bacon - he just loves bacon and anything else Cathy cooks up.  Only thing I've found that he won't eat is green beans.  Everything else goes down without hesitation.  He's an ornery little cuss and because he's kinda short, always has a chip on his shoulder.  What he lacks in stature, he makes up for in attitude.  Just another day in the life of the Elston's - I guess.
