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.

Cathy's Kitchen

While I was on my walkabout, Cathy was making me a surprise.  She baked two loaves of bread.  There aren't many things that I like more than hot bread and butter.  The  whole house still smells like bread.



My Mom used to make bread and rolls every Wednesday.  Every Wednesday our high school track team used to do our mile run and relay which took us past our house.  Me and a couple of my buddies used to run around to the back porch and Mom would treat us to hot bread and butter.  Wow - do I remember those days and Cathy's surprise brought back those memories.  Mom also made tea rings and sweet rolls which were just awesome.  Cathy learned a lot of Mom's recipes, along with some her Grandma (also Catherine) used to make.  Ain't much I enjoy more than eating Cathy's cooking.  I can only remember one meal that she made that didn't turn out so well.  It was back in the days when hamburger helper first came out.  I was in the Navy and we were on a tight budget - so she tried using some.  Neither of us cared for it and we haven't had it in the house since.   Cathy's lasagne and spaghetti sauce are to die for.  My mouth is starting to water.  AAAAHHHHH - now to settle back and relax with a little of my favorite Jim Beam on the rocks.


And just so you know I'm thinking about ya -here's to ya - Barb.  : )
