Lou is doing much better. Today she walked down the highway to meet me coming back from my two mile walk. I was picking up tire remnants along the road. She was fascinated by the sound of the creek running through. The water falls all along send a sound that resonates all along the road. Lou is getting productive again. She sent her article on Rushing to THE ROUNDUP and now she is getting enthusiastic about writing her memoirs. She is rereading what she had written and found most of it good. She is reading Frank McCourt who has written three memoirs by writing stories and each page has humor. She thinks that will be her model, to tell stories of how she has followed women writers. Of course she has also read all the men so she can make accurate comparisons.

Her health is improving, she has started exercising her stomach muscles and that is reducing her back pain, although she still has some.

This morning we had a little shower and the sun is now shining. I will have to mow next week.
