Home Sweet Home

It is so funny to visit our first house, especially when any of the children are with us. They remember that we lived in a big house with a huge yard. In reality, we lived in a little crackerbox house that was bursting at the seams with five children in two bedrooms and one bathroom. There were only eleven stairs leading down to the basement (most houses have thirteen steps and our current house has fourteen), so I literally could not go downstairs without ducking my head.




The current residents have painted and fixed up the house, so it is nicer. But it still looks very much the same as when we lived there. I would loved to have gone inside, but couldn't quite bring myself to ask the people living there if I could invade their home!




Anyway, here are photos of the front and back views of our first little home in Salt Lake City at 3650 South 300 East. The window seen from the front (facing East) looks into what was our dining room and the door on the left was the "back" entrance opening into the laundry room. You can just see the edge of the front door to the right of the big tree and between the bushes. The view from the back (facing West) shows the windows into the two bedrooms at the rear, and along the left side from closest to farthest are windows into what was our master bedroom, bathroom, and living room.
