Presents from Africa!
Noelene's parents visited Yellowknife for Christmas this year which of course was so great for Noelene. They passed through Calgary both on the way up there and on the return leg towards home. Unfortunately, both times they passed through I was unable to go and see them at the airport, but did speak to them on the phone. They are as nice as you would imagine Noelene's parents to be!
When Noels came to visit last week she came bearing gifts from her parents FOR ME!!! They gave me a little pin with two beaded people dressed in traditional garb. This pin also happened to be made by a person living with AIDS and so was sold to help raise money for that cause. They also gave me a really beautiful black neclkace with a silver elephant on it that was handcrafted in Swaziland. Noelene has a matching blue necklace!
It was so nice of them to think of me all the way in South Africa! I'll post a couple of pictures, but I couldn't get the light quite right to do them proper justice.

Hey You, I hope you are doing better. Take care of yourself! We should go snow shoeing together this weekend. It will be nice to get away and spend some time with you... (either that, or let's go bowling as a group!!)
Watch out for canagal she likes to throw snow!!!
Here you go Lisa, I've done it. Now we'll see if it goes any farther than this.
Right on!
I like the elephant necklace. Maybe you'll do it justice if you take a photo with you wearing it!- Amelia
