Red Iguana, and a Clean Backyard 3-12-09

Hi Son,

How are things going? Are things moving along with you investigators? Have your soccer skills improved?

Remember the show "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" on the Food Network? They spotlighted a Dive in Salt Lake City that had some great mexican food. It's Called the "Red Iguana". We went there last week and in the middle of the week the place was packed. We had to wait 45 minutes just to get in. The food was great and the atmospere was electric.

We are having a spring cleanup this week and the Elders are going to take any trash to the dump for everyone. So we cleaned up the backyard. Trimmed the Apple trees, Raked the Leaves and cleaned out the garage. Things are looking pretty nice. We still had 7 goldfish in the pond, after all winter.

In Elder Quorum on Sunday, we read about when the prophet Joseph Smith was in Jail in Independence Missouri, with Sidney Rigdon, Parley P. Pratt and Amasa Lyman. I recognised the name Amasa Lyman from our trip to the Parowan Cemetery about 3 weeks ago and we are related to Amasa Lyman. he was one of the counselors to Joseph Smith in the early days of the church. Cool Stuff.

Indy has decided that he can sit on the red chair in the living room, so I have begun putting packing tape on the chair. Now when we come home for lunch, Indy is hiding in the corner, covered in tape. Maybe he will get the idea that he should not sit in the chair.

Next week we are planning on going to a passover supper at BYU. they serve foods that were eaten at the time of Christ and tell you all about them, and their meanings. I think it will be cool. Also Mary ann made a traditional Irish Meal for us for St. Patricks Day. We had Corned Beef and Cabbage, Red potatos and Irish soda bread. Then she made Irish Creme, Creme' brulee for dessert. Anneke can over and we had a great time.

Anneke got her learners permit, she said that she never went over 10 miles an hour her first time out.

Well, I know that this letter is a rush because I have left it until this morning, and I don't want to miss your email without something for you, so I will close for this week. I still have not gotten your snail mail in the mail for you. sorry.

Love you
Dad, Mary Ann, and Benson
