Monday Lou signed all of her books in stock at Texas Star in Abilene. We were getting groceries for Thanksgiving, She signed copies of JANE RUSHING, 31 BY LAWRENCE CLAYTON, QUOTABLE TEXAS WOMEN and the book on Women who went up the cattle trails that I can't remember the name of. She has an essay in that book. Glenn Dromgoole was in the store and we got to talk to him. He is leaving the book publishing business to focus on his two stores and work on his writing. We hated to hear that because he has been an innovative and aggressive book publisher for Texas and McMurry University.

All the Wilcox family came in yesterday to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. This morning Valerie walked the 2 miles with me and Lou met us on the highway. She got my cold and it is slowing her down a little but it is getting better.

This morning we called son, Mark, to wish him a Happy Birthday. They are packing for a short vacation trip to New York City with their daughter, Ashley, leaving Friday and coming back Wednesday.
