Carol Moore Watts

I am still married to my favorite guy, we raised 3 children and now have 5 grandchildren. The grandchildren are all close by, life is great ! I color sidewalks, rocks, go to sporting events and whatever else they like to do. I find that i am doing alot of this by myself now as the grandkids have grown older.
I plan to keep working because I love my job.

We still have a house and pasture in the country and I enjoy being there but we live at the edge of town.

Our next reunion will be 50 years in 2012. I have a few ideas for that but would welcome input from anyone.
I have discovered that it is possible to reinvent yourself after you turn 60 and I have been working on that. I am more confident and happy than ever before.A more thorough bio begins here:
Carol Moore Watts

After graduation I attended June’s School of Cosmetology and received my license as a beautician. I worked for June’s Beauty land for a year. I also purchased a 55 Chevy convertible with the help of my folks. It was a great car and I had lots of fun with it, I wish I still had it.

In February 28 (not 29 like Jim wanted) of 1964 I married Jim Watts and moved to a farm at Kinsey. We had three children, Stacy Carol in 1965, Mary Susan in 1967, and Grady James in 1968. Our children attended the Kinsey school, were active in 4-H, sports, rodeo, and helped on the farm. We took the kids camping in the mountains many times. Life was good. I helped in the fields, driving trucks and tractors. I discovered I really liked farming. We also had pasture and ran cows, I enjoyed helping there too, mostly riding horses. We had a big garden and apple trees, which was mostly destroyed by a bad hail storm; there were many hail storms and drought. After 28 years of farming Jim went to work for Fort Keogh, I was already working at Kmart where I earned the position of department manager. We moved to the outskirts of town. After 13 years there Kmart closed in 2000 and I went to work for Scott’s Glass and Paint, mostly framing pictures although I did mix paint too. My present job at the Custer County Conservation District opened up in 2002 and I have been here since. I really like my job and do not intend to retire any time soon although I will probably ask for reduced hours as time goes by. Our oldest daughter lives in our house at Kinsey. Jim has been retired for over five years now.

Our daughters attended college and both ended up with jobs nearby. Our son was in the Marines and when he came back he joined the National Guard. He still works for them in Helena. At the time our five grandchildren were little they all lived close by and I had a great time with them. We attended everything they were involved in and they spent a lot of time with us. I loved to take them out to the hills and explore the rock formations in our pasture. We also painted rocks, drew on the sidewalk, colored pictures, played games, etc. They are much older now, with the oldest, Logan, working on a ranch in Powell WY, he also has a welding certificate and does leatherwork. The second one, Zach, is in the Marines, and he loves to fish. Third grandson, William, is a sophomore in high school, he loves anything with wheels and hunting, his parents work full time and also farm. Our only granddaughter, Bailey Angel, is a freshman, she loves sports and horses and our youngest grandson, Rhyse is in the 4th grade at the Kinsey school. He is a delight, and goes on “adventures” with us. All the grandkids have been in sports and all but one in 4-H.

I still sew care bears, I started in 1984 so I could personalize them and have made over 350 now. Each one has its own story.

We live in a small house in a small yard but we are happy and just celebrated out 47th anniversary. When we can, we spend time in the Kinsey pasture, our favorite place to be. Our parents have passed away, one in each of the last decades so we are the old timers now. Our daughter recently gave us a card that said ” time has not flown by, it has danced.” I like that sentiment.
