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.

Dieting ain't half bad

Wow - Fantastic!!!  Cathy's been dieting lately and losing weight I might add.  Usually dieting causes lots of frustration with minimal weight loss but this seems to be different.  We used to walk the logging roads about 3 times a week but since she's had her hip and knee replacement, we've had to curtail those.  So - she began to gain weight without exercise.  Anyway - she started making meals based on calories and I'm impressed.  I'm usually a meat and taters kind of guy but she's got me rethinking my own eating habits.  She made me this for supper last night.....


It's called Crispy Asian Chicken Salad.  It's about 300 calories without the dressing and is it ever good.  I don't usually put salad dressing on my salads anyway.  After I had a bite I had to get a pic for the blog.  Normally, about 45 minutes after a meal like this, I'm roaming the kitchen looking for something to munch on but not this time.  I'm really impressed - finally something that's good for you and tastes good to boot.  Not a bad combination.  Love ya babe...
