Here are photos of Lou with her Stirrup Award from the Western Writers of America. The award is for the best article in the 2006 issues of THE ROUNDUP, the magazine published by WWA. The Award was presented by Candy Moulton, shown with Lou. Candy is the editor of THE ROUNDUP. Her cover story in the August issue was about artist/writer Tom Lea.

I recieved an email asking how the last mammogram came out and the answer is that the image is believed to be benign. She was asked to return in six months for another. Lou thinks it is detritus from the port installation used during chemo.

The top photo is with Candy.
The bottom was taken back in the hotel room.

Lou is working on her essay on Jane Rushing to be submitted to Candy for the magazine. She has been feeling pretty good and walking down to the cross fence. Still has low back pains and takes Ibuprofen for relief.
