This Is The Place

Last week Gary, Jaycee, and I spent the day in Salt Lake City at the “This Is The Place” state park. 

This row of handcarts made me thankful for the pioneers.  I don’t think I could have put my belongings in one and  then walked all those miles.

There are lots of cabins you walk through.  It’s fun to see the old furniture.  We had to explain what a camber pot was to Jaycee.  I think she was shocked!  I don’t think I would want to go outside in the middle of the night to take care of business. ..especially in the cold weather.Of course I was interested in the sewing machine and old quilts.

 

Jars of buttons on the wind0wsill.

Their beds don’t look that comfortable.  They would tie ropes on the bed frame.  The mattresses were stuffed with straw.  And they were small, not even full size.  (yes I love my king size mattress).
