What a blessing that I work at a school and we get Spring Break.
It is a time Alden and I try to get away from the routine of home.
We often say, we'd never take the time to get away this time of the year....
but my Spring Break enables the time.
We so appreciate it!
Pansies.....sure sign of SpringWe took off Sunday for Fayetteville, NC
to visit with Alden's brother, Ken and his wife, Lynne
It was GREAT seeing them!
The brothers enjoying some March Madness~
Nephew Alden and Uncle Alden :)

Monday we spent some time Aunt Louise.....here Alden is showing her some pics off the blog.She loves getting caught up with our family and this is a great way to do it.
Alden and Aunt LouiseBy the way.....the purple hat I had on....is Louise's!
She is a member of the Red Hat Society (and they wear purple ones sometimes!).
She didn't want to model it, so I thought I would.
I REALLY love it!!!!
Isn't that so fun that she is a member of the Red Hat Society??? She turns 80 this year!
Sweet

Love her hugs and encouragement!

They are great friends!
We took off Monday evening for Myrtle Beach....Sunday and Monday were quite the rainy days, with some real bad storms.
It was ok though since we were visiting with people and not needing to be outside.
We made it safely to the beach......and the sun came out so pretty!!!!We were thankful!
Alden having some fun! Isn't this so great.....ride to the beach or the grocery store in a golf cart
And.....the beach......ahhhhhhhh. Can we just stay here forever????
warm breezes & beautiful ocean
Ate dinner at a little restaurant on the waterway ~ Crab Catchers
Enjoyed the wildlife
Headed in to eat ~
