Touring Thursday-September 29, 2011

Tonight I went with Mom to say goodbye to Grandpa Morley's house before the sales closes tomorrow. I took a LOT of pictures, this is just a handful. The things I photographed may not be significant, it's the memories behind them!!!! We took a movie, as well. We had to use both of our camera's mine ran out of battery halfway through filming. After we finished at Grandpa's we stopped at Arctic Circle for milkshakes, like we often did with Grandpa after concerts, etc. He liked that :) My shake was oreo mint. Mmmmmm........

In the "pink" bathroom. I visited Grandpa's house a LOT growing up but i didn't really stay there much until summer of 1998, 1999 when we were visiting from the Philippines and our house was rented out. I was amazed by this bar on the end of the shower, that you really COULD hand things on it in the shower and they would stay dry!!!!

Closet just off the living room-this is where Grandpa kept the board games, picture books and a long, flat box of crayons. This was by far my favorite cupboard as a child!

The sidebar/serving table. We gathered here after every October General Conference priesthood session, the serving table was loaded with ham and potato casseroles. After dinner, pineapple sherbet ice cream cones!!!!

This is the spot for the fridge-when Grandpa put something on the fridge it stayed there for YEARS. Pictures of the grandkids Logan and Garrett, pictures of Errol and Faris on magnets, a quote from Dad from an editorial he wrote for the Deseret News, "show some sensitivity" when covering a story of someone hurt, families grieving, etc. You always knew you were important to Grandpa!!!

The avocado green bathroom just inside the side door, across from the washer/dryer. I remember this bathroom because when I was young I had the HARDEST time turning the faucets to turn off the water! More than once I had to call in an adult to help!

This deck was unveiled on a Father's Day within the last 10 years, built by the neighbor across the street, Antoine Martineau. Grandpa LOVED sitting on his deck and enjoying the weather and his yard. He loved to work in his yard and did a bang-up job of caring for it!
