Yesterday my parents arrived from Texas. To celebrate we headed over to Tortillas in Middleton for a taste of the southwest (after we picked up a bit of on sale Christmas wrapping supplies at Walgreens for next year- ran out this year). My favorite part of the resturant is the decorations and the unique fair. There are wooden shutters on the windows and pueblo architecture throughout. It was a true treat to have sopapillas for desert with all the trimmings!

Today we had Mark's famous meatballs for lunch- always a treat and a first for my folks. After relaxing with Princess Diaries 2 (and laughing hard) Mark and Dad tried to get an old router from Doug's to work but it appears to need a dummy terminal interface, so we headed over to CPUsolutions for a sound card (I am dying to play Exile on our PC with the new Motherboard) and a usb-wireless link station. Our goal is for our DSL to plug into Mark's computer and head out via a wireless USB port to be dispersed so my laptop can pick up on the signal (and no more juggling the DSL line)... we will see what happens!

After a quick trip to Sams for cooking supplies, we made shrimp scampi- Margarita style- for dinner and Mom is a bit under the weather- so she got some fancy chicken noodle soup. We finished the evening with the action packed I, Robot- definitely a good story line and great graphics, but I like the book better...
