Today Lou had her checkup by Dr. Siadati who told her to try to walk straighter and to get some physical therapy to help strengthen her spine. We plan to again visit with Dr. Endsley in Abilene to get Physical Therapy treatment. Her appointment was at 11:30 and we ate at the Harris cafeteria after. They have one of the best and lowest cost places that I have eaten. We drove straight home and got there before 3:30. When I tucked her in bed tonight I asked about the pain and she said the walking today made it worse than yesterday, but she has taken less pain pills today. She took an Aleve yesterday and only buffered aspirin today.

Another book that she has read recently and gave me a verbal review of is Jane Roberts Woods ROSEBOROUGH if I am spelling it right. Today she reread A. C. Greene's A PERSONAL COUNTRY and commented that she could have written that one, because of all the personal stories in it. I read it about 40 years ago and thought it was one of the best books to help understand the West Texas vs. East Texas personality. I really thought so after living in the Bryan area for 22 years. West Texans are unique.

Tomorrow I will take her judging of the Cross Plains students writing contest sponsored by the Cross Plains Library to town. She was impressed by one outstanding poem from a ninth grader. She was also impressed by the writing overall, except much of the essays in certain classes focussed on violence.
