Taylorsville Bennion Heritage Center Museum

Hoosier at Work. These Hoosier cupboards contained all kitchen necessities in one hard-working cupboard.

If you live in Utah and have missed this cute little Heritage Center in Taylorsville/Bennion, make an effort! They have interesting hours. Please look at the rest of the photos I took there on flickr ! That farm sink is the Bomb! I can only hope to score one in a farmhouse of my own someday in the future!

Mom at the Ranch during World War II while my Dad was in the Navy


Joyce with daughters Linda (me) and Brynn beside Mom's snow sculpture pooch

Mom didn't ever bore us with a conventional snowman, but sculpted dogs, bears, and a princess in a ball gown while we stayed warm and toasty inside, watching our wonderful mom entertain and amuse us through the picture window. Circa 1950.

This is my beautiful mother, Joyce, as a Senior at South High School in Salt Lake City.

Beautiful, vibrant, talented and creative, a popular coed, and her favorite classes were art and drafting!

This is my cute Grandma Edith!

A beautiful tall woman of Swedish ancestry, beautifully attired with hat, heels, and handbag. Love this wonderful woman, my mother Joyce's mom.
