Mark asked if I knew what Brian (his brother) was talking about when he asked Mark how the Gecko was doing. I told him to look in his duffel bag and take out the afghan I made him. The Gecko was wrapped there. (For those who don't know, the Gecko is a stuffed animal that Brian won in one of those claw machines that you try to lift a toy out of. He won it when he and his girlfriends Jeannie visited us while we were living in Portland. Ever since, the Gecko has been passed back and forth between in secret. We never know when it will show up in a drawer or bag or gift whenever we get together.) This time around, we all thought Mark could use the company and the Gecko would love to see Australia.
Leave it to Brian to totally ruin the element of surprise. All that planning and he couldn't even wait for Mark to find it on his own!!
