Before Karen came to HK, she stopped by to visit the Lins in their last week in Chicago. Dr. Alberto Lin successfully landed a job in Dallas and the family is making a much desired relocation. In HK, we are very proud of and happy for the Lins although we are a little disappointed in not having visited them all that time they were there (our fault entirely). We are also grateful for the Lins to be thinking of us enough during their time of busy packin' and relocatin' to us have gotten us gifts. Thanks to Karen, too, for her gifts.
Aaron received orange water balloons with their own filler (they'll be put to good use in Dallas) plus Veggie Tales and Dora DVDs (his fave) and Jerry received Transformer T-shirts plus walkie talkie set (Karen thoughtfully researched his preference). I got Taco Bell Salsa Chicken Bowlz and Fiesta Steak Bowlz microwave dinners. These are, hands down, the most random gift that I have any recollection of receiving. So, that has motivated me to go one better and I am now on a gift buying mission!
Whilst this summer has gone off on a fairly poor start with the boys falling ill, we look forward to better days and loads of fun during our trip to Dallas in July. If we survive the heat 'n' humidity in HK, that is.

ah, yes, "Bumble Spud"
So looking forward to your visit! Although, leave those balloons in HK, we'll get more here.
Bring on the random. Although, the Taco Bell gift is really not that random. :)
