Sarah: Spring City

As many of our readers know, our parents are moving from the suburbs of Salt Lake to Spring City. They aren't living down there yet, but Armando and I drove down to see the house, so I made sure to take some photos.

Here we are on the drive down:

Ah, he is so pretty...

I think the town is very quaint.

And I've always loved the side of the little general store.

It's a good thing that it's a Squirt ad, because if it were Fresca, I might be licking the building, just hoping to absorb some of the deliciousness.

Some pictures of the outside of the house:

The entrance (which my parents are going to change a bit... The glass bits on the left door are less than attractive.)

The side of the house

And the stone barn, which is one of my favorite features of the house. Mom and Dad are considering this as a potential big space for parties, hoedowns, etc.

Because of some work being done, I didn't want to take a picture of the round tower-ish part of the house; it was not at its prettiest. But I do love it, and it makes the roofline more interesting.

Some details of the inside:

There's a lot of beautiful wood, and so many interesting details in the house. I love the banister,

and the stained glass windows, and the fireplaces.

The detail on this fireplace has portraits of the original owner's dogs.

And I love all of the cool doorknobs.

Armando tried to scare me while we were checking out the basement, but I had the last laugh when my good friend Creepy Doll surprised him.

This is why you don't prey on the weak, Armando.

As an extra Armando bonus, I have decided to delight others while embarrassing him! Hurrah!

Why the frown, sad clown?
