HKG137: Rainy Day

today dawned wet and dreary. after some behavior challenges presented in the past two days, we determined that the fun privilege of going to the kennedy town pool or playtown candyland was off the table. we will reconsider those options tomorrow if behavior and weather are going in the right direction.

so, instead of kid fun today, we had grown-up fun...we went shopping for american goodies at the gateway store, and then we had lunch at subway. at gateway, we had a ball again, but we also did a better job of reigning in the spending. our goodies will be delivered in a couple days, and we can't wait.

i also got out to mail some fun stuff to a few friends. this time, i chose to use the air mail option (it took SIX weeks for round one to arrive in the u.s. with the ground mail option). this time, mailing went so much more easily that i am ready to send more packages on monday. i have this gigantic box of goodies in the living room...i add to it pretty often, and when i get up enough of a collection for each family, i send it along. this is sooooo much fun!

this star is in a plaza area between queens road central and des vroux road central (two main thoroughfares in the central area of hong kong). it reminds me of the star in the plaza on the movie "tangled." livie agreed.
