Gifts

One of the joys of travelling are the people you meet. Recently, my brother Al came to Grenada to visit and met a little girl named Kelci. Jason and I have gotten to know her well over the last number of months, especially during the time when she stayed with her grand mother and great grandmother, almost across the road from us while her mom was gone to Trinidad to have a baby. Kelci was on our porch almost daily, in fact it was hard to send her home when we wanted to go have supper or go to bed!



While Al was here he got to meet Kelci and humored her for a long time goofing around with pillows and playing frisbee. Kelci also enjoyed 'helping' us with a puzzle that my mother-in-law gave as a christmas gift. Al told Kelci he would send a puzzle along for her with my parents when they came to visit. And that's what he did.


She's pleased as punch (though didn't like it that i suggested she work on the puzzle in our house so I could help her with it!) 500 pieces is just a little daunting when you haven't done many puzzles! I'll be sure to post a picture when we have finished the puzzle.

So, here's my question for all of you. What is the best gift you have ever given, or received? I'd love to hear from all of you folks who have been lurking out there but never leave comments!
