It's been a busy weekend. We had a surprise dinner for my dad yesterday. He hit the big 60, so the family met at a local mexican restaurant to surprise him. Dinner was a lot of fun, probably helped along by a lot of margarita's. Did I mention we had a lot of margarita's?? Got to love a family that loves margaritas... Happy Birthday Dad!!

Today I made dinner for my dad. Tortilla soup. Big thanks go out to my bro and SIL for the wonderful food processor I got for x-mas. It made short work of all of the chopped veggies that go into the soup and I swear cut off an hour of the prep time.

In spite of my busy weekend, I did manage to fit in some knitting. I finished secret project number 1. You'll get pictures after it's sent off to it's intended recipient. I also made a lot of progress on my Flower Basket shawl. I'm at a cross roads now. I must decide whether to add on another repeat of the shawl or do the edging and block. I added one repeat and it would now be about 5 feet accross. Another repeat would add another 4.5 inches approximately. Any advice from the readers out there before I proceed tomorrow night?
