Last day in Ashboro 21/4/10

The exchange is ending so quickly and yesterday, Larry and Mary Joan PUGH showed us Ashboro Zoo for the morning. The zoo is set on 500 acres and the team enjoyed the opportunity to walk around, see the animals, enjoy the fresh air and burn off some calories (followed as usual by eating way more than we worked off). The afternoon, Larry and Tyson showed us a wholesale florist, funeral home, Homeland ice creamery (yet more calories!!) and a camp facility for terminally ill children. Helen finally had an opportunity to milk a cow in America!. We had a busy but enjoyable day and ended at Dr Hanspal's house for some fantastic company and Indian food. The hospitality and friendship we continue to be shown is truly beyond words.

This morning, we said farewell to our family number 6. It gets harder and harder to say good bye and we all wanted to say thank you to them all for taking such wonderful care of us and treating us like family.

This morning we went to the Indian Mounds and got an opportunity to experience some traditional Indian historic sites that have been recreated. We then went to Montgomery Community College and saw some fabulous pottery being made by some students.

We presented at a joint meeting in Ashboro before being handed over to the care of our newest families at Greensboro.

To Larry, Deloris, Evelyn and Jerry, thanks so much for everything. To all our Ashboro/Troy friends, we appreciate your care and company. Thanks.
