OMG, It's 2010!

Oh, dear, I haven't posted to the blog in a LOOOONG time. We haven't been travelling as much, and have had a lot of other events that seemed to keep me from getting my act together. So, here's an update on the Prescotts:

1. Daisy Dog is now 7 years old and eating senior dog food. Still plays soccer with her ball every day, though.
2. Larry is doing well and has continued to be interested in our rocks. We now have a large rock saw, a cabachon machine, and a trim saw/flat lap saw set up in the RV barn.
3. So, we've learned to make cabs and I've learned beginnng beading and wire wrapping and we're making jewelry. Larry is way ahead of me on cab experience, and he has made some really beautiful cabs.
4. I've continued my quilting and continue to really enjoy it.
5. We've started doing web development and also enjoy that. I'm particularly interested in the web analytics part of that project. I'm also still doing leadership coaching classe and strategic planning for non-profits. We'll be putting three sites up on the web, partially for practice. One for the web development, one for my coaching and strategic planning, and an online store for our cabs, jewelry and photography.
6. We've not been travelling much because we've been trying to settle Larry's mother into Florida Presbyterian Homes in Lakeland. She will be 89 in two weeks and needed a safer environment. She is shyer than I had realized and has not joined in to many of the wonderful activities they offer. She has learned her way around, but misses her home and church. She is having some memory problems, as is so often the case at her age.
7. We are planning a trip to Red Bay, AL and then on to Arkansas in June (to dig crystals). We'll also be meeting up with Louisiana friends, and travelling with them a ways.
8. I saved the best for last. My younger son, Ivan,became a father on April 16th. A large baby boy who is doing well. I have been in Grayson, GA helping out and just returned yesterday. I'm going to try to upload a video here for you enjoy. His temperament seems very similar to Ivan's: he's a calm baby and already very responsive to his environment.

Well those are the high points. I'll put the video up in the next post, if I can get it to upload.
