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.

 Well - FINALLY- I hope - Spring has sprung!!  Not so sure anymore.  When I got up at "O" dark thirty this morning, it was 35 on the front porch.  But my Dogwood is out in full bloom and all the






 
of trees are leafing out (oaks, maple, red bud, hickory, some walnut etc).  It's greening up quite nicely if I do say so.  A week or so ago, Cathy and I took the boat out for the first time this year.  It was really warm - a nice day for a short cruise.

 
 
 


I got up early this morning so I could get down to Dale Hollow Lake and have the pontoon loaded
before the fishermen traffic got heavy.  I made it but they were starting to show up at the boat ramps.  It was really a beautiful day for fishing or just about anything on the lake.  Anyway, I got the pontoon to the shop to have it's annual check up and prep for the 2013 boating season.  We're having friends visit the last week of May and plan to use the boat a bunch.  I had to laugh this morning when I turned the fish finder on, it said that the water temp was 78.  I don't know what part of the lake it was measuring for the temp but when I stepped off the trailer into knee deep water, it took my breath.  78 my ***.    Well that's about it for today from the great state of Tennessee.  Catch ya later...
