Today my Mom arrived from Texas. I haven’t seen her in person since my birthday when Mark and I went to Texas. Fortunately her flight went well and there were no delays! She arrived in the newly renovated Madison airport which is really starting to look nice. It has a Frank Lloyd Wright theme from the beautiful stone flooring to the low overhangs. After Mark finished up some work and Mom got settled in the second room of our apartment, we all headed over to Sa Bai Thong. This local Madison restaurant is always a wonderful treat to visit. Mom and I use to frequent it often. Starting with an appetizer of assorted treats, we greatly enjoyed our dishes- my 57 with delicious straw mushrooms, veggies and tofu; Mark with his current favorite of spicy crispy duck; and Mom with her noodle veggie treat. It was a wonderful atmosphere to relax and catch-up. It sounds like Mom’s new job is going very well- she has a very thoughtful boss which always helps.

After all of our tummies were sufficiently full, we headed home to watch the new episode of LOST. Produced by the creators of Alias (our all time favorite show), LOST is a suspenseful mystery/thriller about the survivors of a plane crash on a deserted island with scary secrets. We can’t wait for the next episode!
