Carol's Story
Life
Well, here we are-again! I'm living in Renton, WA, with my husband of 36 years. Boy, Mr. Levitin (the history teacher at Newport) - wouldn't believe our marriage would have lasted so long! We have two children. A boy and a girl, and two grandchildren. Roger is retired from Boeing. He put in 36 1/2 years as a tool and die maker. I stay home now too, after working for at least 14 years. We also have a cabin in Rochester,WA that we build from the ground up this past summer (2005). I like to garden, read, and cook-how do you like to spend your 'free' time??
Moved to Chehalis this past fall (2011), and are loving it here. it's a lot quieter than the house in Renton-one of the reasons we moved.. Our house is on 2 1/2 acres. We have LOTS of yard now/ I'll only have a few raised garden beds-enough to keep me happy growing a few things. Roger is building a barn and has already put up our windmill. He go...Expand for more
t his riding lawn mover finally (we really need it now!) and has his tractor too. I still find plenty of time for cooking and reading. We have 3 more grandsons too.
Workplace
Hi! I didn't start to work until my oldest was 14, my youngest 11. Always felt kids shouldn't have to raise themselves-so to speak. But I finally decided it was my turn to do something and get out of the house occasionally, so I started part-time work at a kitchen store called "bendy's" in Renton. Loved the work, especially doing inventory, but didn't care much for 'dusting the merchandise'-glasses especially. Then after a few years I went on to work at JCPenney as Christmas help-only I found out it can turn into long-time employment-----8 1/2 years long!!!! Enjoyed working in all the departments, whereas most everyone wanted to stay in one department. Took a few years off, then started working for a tall women's shop in Renton.
