12948... you've got to be kidding!

October 18, 2011

Audrey and I went to Salt Lake today.  We met Shaniel in Riverton.  Carson had a pre-op appointment with the Cardiologist for his heart surgery scheduled for November 2nd.  

Afterwards, we headed West toward Herriman to find a cloth diaper store Audrey located on the internet.  As we got closer, we started weaving in and out of residential single housing subdivisions.  We went through a very nice subdivision that led us to a dirt road.  "Is this for real!  We checked the address again.12948.... you've got to be kidding!"  A run down house in a dirt patch with beat up cars all around.  No business sign and no sign of a business.  We were apprehensive about going up the dirt road.  Audrey inched her way to the house and cautiously knocked on the ratty door.  I was sitting in the car with the kids, ready to make a quick get-away if needed.  A face appeared from behind a torn curtain in the window next to the door.  Soon, the door opened and a young lady, probably in her late twenties or early thirties, greeted Audrey with a huge smile on her face. She was plump, a little unkempt, but very personable.  We had found the right place!

The store was in somewhat condition as the lady that ran it.  Just a little unkempt, but pleasant.  That was a surprise.  We spent about a half hour browsing the cloth diapers and educational toys and puzzles.  The kids had a blast playing.  I bought Ben a puzzle and Alia a Ballerina Magnetic Doll Set.  One thing I learned today... don't judge a store by it's cover!
