We got through Friday the 13 watching the weather clobber Dallas and being thankful we had cancelled our Friday night trip to Dallas. We only got some small rain showers here. On the TV it looked like the tornado and storm area was on top of the area where the TIL reception was being held in Dallas. Lou did decide to make the TIL Council meeting at 11 a.m. Saturday morning. We found that the reception was in an old marble building built in the 1930s and they didn't even know about the storm. Fran Vick commented that she felt like the basement of that building could withstand an atomic bomb. We had an easy drive with little traffic and got there early. Lou enjoyed visiting with all her friends. She told Jane Woods that she had just reread ROSEBOROUGH. Lou now is planning to read a couple of Sandra Scofield books before she meets her at Literary Lubbock in May.

Lou did fairly well Saturday and decided if she could go to Dallas that she could go to Sunday School and Church this morning. Her comment after was that our choir is better than the St. Paul's choir in Abilene that she watched a few Sundays ago. They are good. We had a baby baptised and an announcement of a new member joining the congregation that was recruited by Jimmielee Payne in the Rising Star nursing home. We had a good number in SS and enjoyed studying Revelation 4 with all of its imagery of the throne room in heaven. We looked at all the symbolism coming from the old Testament world.

Lou still has slight pain in her back. Dr. Siadati said everyone has back pain. She gets somewhat depressed and uncomfortable every afternoon, but she is sleeping somewhat better and can turn over in bed without the pain that she has had until this week. Her appetite is returning. She checked her weight this morning and decided she needs to gain some weight back. She still get tired walking very far, but is trying to walk a little more each day. We appreciate all the prayers that we know are supporting her. Her doves are still here. The swallows have not returned to nest on either house, which is unusual. We have always had them on both houses. I haven't seen any under the bridge on the highway, which has had a colony for the last few years. The fox have been scarce. We presume that the mother will bring her kits out in a few days. The does have not shown us their Bambis yet. They still come to the feeders. I am still looking for the new Goldfish babies, but they haven't hatched.
