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.

Beautiful Day

After putting up the flag and feeding the cats, I noticed that it's a really gorgeous day out.  So I'm thinking that it's a good day to spend on the lake.  I think I'll talk Cathy into heading out to Sulfur Creek marina for lunch.  They make the bestest hamburgers and homemade tater chips on the lake and the price is really reasonable for a marina.  It's located just over the state line in Kentucky and about a 25 minute boat ride from Star Point marina where we keep our boat.  Hum, yep, I think that'll do nicely for an outing.  Cathy really needs a break.  She spent the last couple of days canning and making jelly.


She put up about 8 quarts of tomatoes, 10 qts of peaches, bunches of dill and bread and butter pickles, zucchini pickles, peach jam and some plum/nectarine jam that Patricia had described in her "Mountain Living" blog.  So she's been real busy and on her feet a lot.  I know she could use the leisure time and that's what we're gonna do today.  I'll take pics and write about it tomorrow.
