ReplyDeleteNi Hao Mrs. Motley,
ReplyDeleteWe hope you are enjoying the wonderful country of China. We have fond memories of our trip in December. Don't forget to try a scorpion and pork flavored potato chips. And the Hi-Chew is the greatest candy. Get some for your kids.
Bye for now,
Nick R. and family
