Happy Mother's Day:)
Below, students are busy making Mom's Day cards and working diligently crafting jewelry for Mom as a surprise....













What a treat to get a visit from the Myrtle Beach Pelicans' Mascot on Friday!!!

Thanks, Pelicans!


Spending Mom's Day weekend at the condo we never get to stay at because we are renting it out, going out to eat (which we never get to do because of work) at The Grilled Cheese and Crabcake Factory in Garden City on Saturday and at Kono Asian Grille in MB on Sunday.....time to hit the workout sessions to work off unwanted pounds!!!  Yes, teachers definitely need the exercise to stay healthy, just as students do:)

The weather below is from this morning...we couldn't believe the deluge of rain that followed today!


The picture below this  was taken Saturday after sunset, when we started to have doubts about the predicted sunny day for Mom's Day....
                                                   












Inside the condo, checking that weather





Inside Kono Asian Grille, and oh, the food, yum:)
