Star Mill

I found this antiques and junk shop in American Fork and I am in love! It doesn't look like much more than an old flour mill, which it is, filled with a lot of old junk, which it is, but I just love it! It smells like my grandma's old house, you know that musty, dank stink, but it sure brings back the memories. They had a ton of stuff and I just kept telling Jim "My grandma had that". The guy that runs it is so funny and friendly. I told him I was collecting letter "R"s and he wrote it down and said he would look for them for me. His house is also part of the "shop" and filled with just everything imaginable. It's hard to describe it for you but just imagine the pages of any country living or country home magazine or Anthropology catalog and you get an idea.

I will probably try to haggle more over the prices next time but look what I got!

OK So you are probably saying "what the heck?" But just you white enry iggins, (in my best Eliza Doolittle voice) it is going to be so cool when I get done with it!

Another fun thing, across the street from the shop is a rope swing over a little stream. The boys had a great time swinging and getting their feet wet.
