upgraded computer

We really had fun the past few days with all of our family being here in Orem. It was great. We really love you all. It seems so quiet now.

Yesterday we went to see "Harry Potter" with Tyler, Michelle, Marissa and the Miller family. It was such fun. The movie was great. I usually wait to see a new movie until the crowd dies down but it was fun to get to see it so soon after it opened.

Last Monday we sent to the graves of our parents. We had a hard time finding an eating place for us. I wanted to go to the Chicken Inn so that is what we planned to do. We got a late start (surprise anyone) so stopped by McDonalds so the kids wouldn't starve before we got to Wanship. We then went to the Orem Cemetary, passing the Dairy Keen in Heber to go to Peoa and then on the Wanship. Well it was Monday, and the Chicken Inn was closed on Monday so that didn't work out. We decided to go to the Discount Mall and find a place to eat there. We say a sign for JB's and thought that would hit the spot and drove there only to find it had been closed permanently. There weren't other places that we agreed on in the discount mall so we debated on going to SLC or back to Park City but since the kids were hungry we decided to go back to Park City. As luck would have it they were doing construction on the road so we were slowed a lot (and probably could have made it to SLC by the time it took to get to Park City) but finally found a cafe that looked promising. We parfked the car and went in only to be informed by the waiter that they closed between 3-5 for a change of menues between lunch and dinner (it was 3:05). We then had to find another place to eat. Since everyone was hungry by now we went back to a place we saw on the way in called Squatters. A cafe called Mt. Air Cafe used to be at the same location and we had eaten there in the past so we decided to give it a try. When we entere we discovered it was a brewery/restaurant, serving all different kinds of beer along with many varieties of vegeterian, vegan and traditional foods. We decided to order only to be informed that they were between their lunch and dinner menues and we would have to wait for 15 minutes. You would think we wanted to order some escotic food that would take special talent to make. We weren't vegan, nor vegetarian, we just wante Hamburgers!!! We settled in and ordered. It was good food.

We finally have gotten broadband service. I had not idea how much that would improve our computer.

Love you lots.

Dad

I realize this has been a long and rambly post but perhaps it will make up for all of the time we haven't posted anything.

Yeah! Harry Potter was SOOOO good! I'm glad we were together to see it. 6 more days for book 7 -- woo hoo!

I can't believe that day you guys had. One closed restaurant after another - that is very frustrating. I would have been so awnry! At least it all finally worked out.

Glad you're blogging!
