The lovely story about Uncle Roger went on a wrong bus and met Auntie Lucy is still fresh in our memory.
We are impressed at how Aunt Lucy practiced the tea ceremony with her family in the Chinese New Year.
We had so much fun in playing the Chinese musical instruments together with Aunt Lucy at the last reunion.
