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.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh - Finally - a Warming Trend

Woke up this morning to this wonderful stuff.  It was actually warmer this morning (22 deg) than it has been for the past few days.  As you can see, the sun is shining so it won't last til noon and will all melt away. 
Makes for some pretty pictures.  Really good contrast between the whites and blacks.

We only got about a half inch of snow.  Other areas got as much as 2 inches.  Yesterday the temp got up to the high 30's and it rained almost all day.  Then last night it got really serious and started sleeting then turned to snow.  Fortunately we didn't experience a repeat of a couple of years ago when the ice accumulated on limbs and high lines and broke trees and power poles.  It's just a nice winter day here in the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee.
