Today was a day to remember. First it rained all night without any hail, high wind, thunder or lightning and this morning we walked to the car under an umbrella. We then drove through the rain all the way to Ranger where Lou predicted it would stop and she was correct. We got to TWU and were allowed to park at the back door of the Library where the Librarian met us and escorted Lou to her office where a catered luncheon was shared with the Chancellor, Ann Stuart, the Chair of the English department, our long time friend, Phyllis Bridges, an English prof, Dawn Letson, Ann Barton from the Women's collection of the Library. There was an official photo op with the chancellor and then Lou spoke to 100 guests about her book JANE GILMORE RUSHING and signed 36 books. We then drove back through heavy rain from Denton through Decatur and Weatherford to Ranger Hill where it stopped. I had about 1.65" in my rain guage.

I got home just in time to attend the Pastor Parish Relations committee meeting with the District Superintendent who gave us the name of our new pastor for next year. And I still got home at 7:15 to help Lou. She did get to fix her own supper after I opened a can of soup before I went to town.

Tonight Lou said she fells like the pain is a little less. However she started the day with prescription pain pills, took more before the lecture and more before the drive home. I tell her her pain is due to the humidity. At least that is what is causing my arm pain, I am sure. But we needed the rain and thank the Lord for blessing us with it.
