SPRING BREAK--date night!

Friday we ran a few errands, and Mom was so good to help me finish up the Easter skirts for the girls (and to find me a matching jacket at DI!!). That night Mom and Dad took us out to dinner at the famous RED IGUANA which was the home of DELICIOUS mole sauces that we were all melting over—YUMMMM!!! Anything w/ that many ingredients REALLY excites me (16-24 per mole!). We all decided that is where the phrase “Holy Mole!” originated :). Beforehand, we took some rare books from G&G Priday's library to the famous Ken Sanders Used Bookstore!!! I had just read The Man who Loved Books Too Much which featured him as a real-life hero bringing down crazy bookthief John Gilkey (who is actually now out of prison and again, at large!). What a thrill when the attendant at the front desk said she'd have to call Ken down for the informal book appraisal!, and though it took him all of 45 seconds to explain all and any worth of all 4 books Dad was carrying, I did manage to squeak out a, “I loved you in the book 'The Man Who Loved Books Too Much'!” as he turned to walk back up to his loft, to which he said, “It should've been called, 'The Man who Steals Books Too Much'” and proceeded to update us on Gilkey's movements (some Pooh Bear books mentioned in aforesaid book—being sold on consignment in San Francisco!), which of course made me day, and which I was wishing I could stretch out into more than the 5 minutes it all took. As we left, I wondered if I should've asked for an autograph or something, but it WAS a lot of fun (doesn't his picture show him to be quite a character!). We ended the evening taking a chilly look at the new City Creek Shopping Center now opened in SLC—pretty stunning!!-and came home to be joined by Brian's dad!
