Lou is bouncing back and her energy level is increasing every day. Yesterday when I was coming back from my 2 mile walk she had come through the front gate and was coming down the highway. She is looking forward to walking the 2 miles again. This morning she got almost to the front gate before I got back.

The latest big event in her life was a box delivered by Fedex that had copies of her book published by Texas Tech Press. JANE GILMORE RUSHING: A West Texas Writer and Her Work is now available for sale at your favorite book store. Lou worked on this book for years and was pleased with the photos and cut lines that Judith Keeling, her editor from TTPress obtained for the book. It is priced at $29.95 for the hard cover, but it has photographs.

The book is dedicated to Ken Davis, Sylvia Grider and Phyllis Bridges and acknowledges Cherry Shults for helping her get books from interlibrary loan. Today I took a copy to the Cross Plains Library for the Texas collection.
