In June, the ladies at the Asheboro Home visited Town Creek Indian Mound. The ladies got the opportunity to experience this unusual phenomenon in the history of North American archaeology. The ladies learned of the mound and village archeology, the burial house, the mortuary, and the Indian artifacts. Town Creek is one of the most popular state historic sites in North Carolina.
The ladies at the Asheboro Home spent time in June beautifying their home. They planted flowers in the flower beds and in individual pots. The ladies spent an evening planting impatiens and displaying other brilliant floral arrangements. These ladies certainly have green thumbs.
The women of the Asheboro Home took a trip to Indian Beach April 13-18. It was a joint venture, vacationing with the women from Lanier Home and the men from Mercer Home. The trip was a week filled with sight seeing, shopping, eating, and fun in the sun, with a little bit of relaxation for all three group homes.
The trip began Wednesday April 13, leaving from the home early in the morning and arriving at the beach house in time for lunch and a little relaxation on the beach. Thursday the women enjoyed a tour of Fort Macon in the morning, walking and enjoying the sun on the beach in the afternoon. On Friday, a 1 ½ hour boat tour on the Crystal Coast Lady was planned which included lunch on board the seventy-five foot, all aluminum custom design super cruiser and boat tour of the inter-coastal waterway which included sights of the Wild Horses of Shackleford Banks. After the boat tour, a walk through the historic town of Beaufort and a history of Blackbeard, his house, the waterway lookout, and a tour through an old grave yard in Beaufort ended the afternoon. On Saturday, the residents went shopping, visited the NC Aquarium which included the chance to touch the alligators and stingrays, then dinner at the local seafood buffet satisfied the hungry residents. Sunday, the residents enjoyed Putt Putt, did more shopping, watched kite flying on the beach, and one last chance to lie out on the beach. Sunday evening ended with an ice cream sundae party with sundaes that were made to order.
With a total of twenty-two people, including staff, this beach trip was a trip to remember. Everyone had a great time getting to know one another, cooking together and just having fun, enjoying each other’s company. This will definitely be something to look forward to next year! 
This April is an exciting time for the ladies in Asheboro. They have been preparing and packing for their beach trip. Last week the ladies went out and bought beads, bows, ribbons, and pins to decorate their flip-flops. The ladies are looking forward to showing off their creative side and showing off their new accessorized shoes.
