Hear From Some of Our Residents
Kay Gilbert and her husband, John, moved to The Woodlands in March 2022, moving from Fairfax Station, VA where they had lived for 40 years. This “Our Story” series is an opportunity to learn about the fascinating lives of The Woodlands residents.
Whether you already live here or are considering joining our “family” as a new resident, we hope you enjoy these and future stories as much as Kay enjoys writing them.

Fun times!
In our blog series, What Is Your Story, we feature amazing resident journeys—and Carol Christensen’s story is one to remember!
In 1959, Carol led a group through Central Europe, eventually hitching an unexpected ride on a Rhine River barge with two friends, thanks to some friendly locals and a spirit of adventure. It was an unforgettable journey filled with improvised communication, scenic riverside views, and a welcoming barge family who gave her a unique glimpse into life on the river. 🛳️🌍
Today, Carol’s life at The Woodlands is just as rich and full of stories. From connecting with friends online to enjoying our wooded trails, Carol embodies our never retire spirit.
