Carol's Story
I always wanted to be a stand up comedian when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a poor idea. As it turns out, they were just being safe. Well, I never made it to Hollywood, but I have had my 15 minutes of fame on a few stages. I'm satisfied.
To have been able to retire healthy is good enough for me. I am now a "great grandma" of twin girls born this July. My oldest grandson and his wife are very excited, I don't know how they tell them apart yet. They live in Colorado, so I get to take a flight once in a while to visit. Also, raising my 7 year old grand daughter since birth as her Mother passed away before the baby was 3 months old. What a challenge. She is so hyper and bounces around everywhere.I have 5 grand children so far. Looks like that will be it, now just looking forward to more "greats".
Life is good, I have returned to my roots in Taylor. Man, it just isn't the same as when I looked thru the eyes of a teenager. I like to travel by car or airplane. Hope someday to take a cruise. Can't wait for spring of 2010, just for the return of warm weather. There are not too many of us 66-ers around anymore, so many have moved far away and some have gone to a better place. It would be nice to hear from my schoolmates once in awhile.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a good salary, lots of breaks, and a company car to be able to de...Expand for more
al with the day-to-day.
My parents! My Dad was a WWII veteran, I later learned he was quite a decorated soldier and my Mother worked in a war plant making machine guns and parts, she was a chief inspector at the end of the war.
I REALLY ENJOY DANCING WITH THE STARS, NCIS WITH MARK HARMON,GHOST WHISPERER
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel THE UPSTAIRS and add on a EXTRA BATHROOM. My dream home would be IN cOLORADO.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 10% of it to the VA, then spend the rest on me, me and me.
My current age is 61. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be ancient. I was so completely wrong.
My best friend would tell you I'm ungrateful, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as fortunate. She is gone now, I have no best friend anymore. NOt like she was.
I share my home with my husband, daughter, and 2 cats, and a new addition of a dog.
My first job was at INDUSTRIAL CABLE & SLLING CO., where I got paid $2.50/HR to TYPE BILLS AND TAKE TELEPHONE ORDERS.. What I remember most about it is MY BOSS WAS VERY NICE.
HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREATING WAS ALWAYS A GOOD THING, ESPECIALLY THE PARADES AT TREADWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE THE HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET WERE BUILT IN THE 50"S AFTER THE KOREAN WAR.
