December 9th 2010 Leeds England Hello everyone, I finally arrived at my latest destination to stay with a family who live in Leeds, in the north of England. Over the past few days, if not weeks England has experienced a great deal of snow, ice and very cold weather. Althea told me that although it is usually cold at this time of the year they haven’t had snow in Leeds this early in the year. If I had had to fly here
Mrs Green is a bit slow in telling you this, but I’m going to England super fast!!! In fact, by the time she tells you I’m going I’ll already be in Leeds, England. I hope her students are watching me. Mrs. Green says I might have to learn different words for some things. I can’t wait to see what it is like in England. I hear it’s colder there than it is here.
I got a chance to go back to Millgrove Farms again. This time I went with a bunch of neat kids from the Donnelly Community who have been learning about gardening with Ms. Denise Santoro and Mr. Green through a ministry called America’s Blessed Children. Here are some neat things we did… First we fed the rabbits. They didn’t run away when we had food for them. Miss Carole showed us the right way to feed the donkeys. She said
Quack, quack, quack!!! (Translation: Wow! what an adventure! We drove all day Monday on the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway. We went over a mile high! The leaves were beautiful until we got really high up. There most of the leaves had already fallen. It was coldest at the top. Mrs. Green took too many pictures to tell about them all. Enjoy the slide show…
When the Greens got through with all their singing at Lake Junaluska they packed up their things, got their dog Missy from the kennel, and drove some more in the mountains. We drove through an Indian reservation where some Cherokee Indians still live. It is hard to know when you see an American Indian today because they dress the same as we do now.
