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.

ARE WE THERE YET!!!!!!

I know it's March and the weather for this month is usually totally unpredictable but this is getting really ridiculous.  Last night the temp dropped down to 22 and it didn't get out of the 20's all day.  Ground fog set in real early and started freezing on the trees.  This is the road, in front of our house, going up the mountain.
 

You can see the ice forming on the trees further up the mountain.  As the fog moves through everything, on the upper level of the mountain, gets a thicker coat of ice.


Even the spider webs were freezing.  I must say that it was kinda pretty looking across the wooded side of the mountain and seeing the evergreen trees with a layer of ice on them.  Then hundreds of clumps of spider webs, throughout the brush and smaller trees, frozen solid in their intricate patterns.



Somehow God's nature always has a way of bringing out the beauty even during times that try your patience.  If this is some kind of test of my patience, I ain't gonna get a very good grade. Heh heh heh!!!
