Ah, yes, your lovely descriptions possess a grandeur that instantly transports me back to the gastronomic delights of bucolic Parowan (a Paiute word meaning “evil water”). Given what I know about your fluency in French, I must ask whether you had a chance to have a conversation in français with Mavis, whose flawless speech has led many in France to conclude that’s she a native.

I should mention that after our brunch in Parowan, the three of us took a stroll through what is often called the “Mother Town of the Southwest,” owing to the fact that many Latter-day Saint pioneers departed from Parowan to begin new communities in southern Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and even so far as Wyoming and Oregon. Parowan, of course, was founded on 13 January 1851—about a year after Elder Parley P. Pratt and members of his exploring party discovered the Little Salt Lake Valley and nearby deposits of iron ore in the Iron Mountain District. As you will recall, Elder Pratt, who, incidentally is my wife’s great-great-great grandfather, had raised a liberty pole at Heap's Spring on 8 January 1850 and dedicated the site under the name "The City of Little Salt Lake.”

I bought a number of exemplars of modern Finnish speculative fiction (including several important works by Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen) in a wonderful independent bookshop at the end of town and then we stopped by the Parowan Dairy Freeze for dipped date-flavored ice-cream cones at the end of our walk. Along the way, I pointed out some very faint three-toed Hadrosaur tracks to my friends.

Have you ever considered blogging this stuff?

Yes. In fact, the Relief Society Sister in Parowan, the Old High Priest in Ogden, the Little Old Lady from Pasadena Ward, and I have recently kicked around the idea of starting a Patheos blog or perhaps joining the up-and-coming Vox Nostrum group blog with Dr. Peterson and friends.

I'd read that, definitely!

Is that the granny who "goes"? I bet she's a blast!

The Little Old Lady cannot see very well these days and her memory is a bit spotty, but she is a delight. (Despite her memory issues, she can recite numerous passages from Mormon Doctrine.) Thankfully, her two ministering brothers, Jan and Dean (pic of the three is below), now pick her up for church every Sunday morning to keep her from tearing up and down Colorado Boulevard (the road to the Pasadena chapel) in her old red Super Stock Dodge.
