IS SUMMER REALLY HERE? THAT IS THE QUESTION!
We have never had to have the heat on in May. What weird weather we are having here and rain, rain, rain and more rain. Can't even get the garden area plowed up its just to wet and this TN clay takes forever to dry out.
We ordered our counter tops for the kitchen last week. Took awhile to save up the money. Chuck ordered a butcher block top for the island and put it on himself. Love it the dark green laminate from 1997 has to go! It makes the kitchen darker. Once the counter top is in we can look for tile for the back splash. We are getting laminate but the 2013 version laminate choices are so much better and choice of edging what we chose looks like granite. Granite just wasn't in the budget for us!
Crown molding got put up in the master bedroom last week and looks great. Going to put crown molding up in the living room/dining area. That area will have to wait till the fall. Outbuilding needs a new roof first. Already got the metal for it and our neighbor will help my husband with that. Hope they get it done before it gets to hot though.
Took the pontoon out on the lake last week for a couple of hours. The lake sure is high comes up into the parking lot. We have never seen it this high since we have lived here. It was a nice sunny 78 degree day. We anchored in a cove and had out lunch and I read a book while hubby fished. No luck catching any fish. Forgot to bring some live worms. Since we are seniors now, we have a lifetime fishing and hunting license only $11!

About Us
- Kitcat
- 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.
