Home, Sweet, Home!


Many years ago - when we still lived in Salt Lake City in fact - I got the addresses of all the houses my dad had lived in as a boy growing up.  I went around and took photos and made my dad a photo cube with all the pictures.  The photo cube is still at my mom's house!!

I'm not sure I could do the same for our homes.  I could tell you where they were, but I don't even remember the addresses of all of them.  So when Dad and I saw this in the pile of slides, we were both tickled - maybe as pink as the shutters!!

The address was 525 South 10th East.  Next door was a large condo complex where many general authorities lived.  For all I know, general authorities may live there still!  We moved in when Bonny was about 8 or 9 months old.  Our cat Amado disappeared, was returned, and disappeared again from this house.

Harry was born when we lived here.  Leslie and David came in the summertime and spent a couple of weeks with us.  We finally admitted that we were through with school and began attending a regular ward.  I did a lot of canning here, taught myself to crochet, and sewed up a storm.

Harry had a room for studying in - he also did some "art" there as he fiddled around with making wood blocks for printing our own Christmas cards.  I converted the front closet into a sewing nook.  I got to know Janice Rowley - who lived behind our back yard - and her friend Elizabeth - who came out to meet me because she kept hearing me call "Elizabeth" when I was calling our cat!

This is where we acquired "The Bus From Chicago" at the local grocery store!!  And where our neighbor Kay introduced us to "The Carrot Seed."

Lots of good memories to be found at 5th South and 10th East!!
