AAUW TALK
Today Lou spoke to the Abilene branch of the American Association of University Women at the Country Club. She was a guest of Shay Bennett who is in charge of programs this year. Shay and her husband Pat provided Lou with a lot of letters and other materials for her biography of Jane Gilmore Rushing which was her topic for her talk. She started by quoting from Quotable Texas Women and talked about her journey writing about Texas women writers. The meeting started at 10:30 a.m. and had over 15 there. They seemed to enjoy hearing Lou. One woman had read about it in the Abilene Reporter-News and asked to come. The women are all connected to Abilene schools someway.
Lou is feeling somewhat better and has a good outlook. I still have pain from the Shingles but am learning how to solve it with Bayer aspirin and prescription pain pills when necessary. I thought I could get a flu shot at HEB but found that they only give them on special days, Nov. 9 being the next opportunity, so I guess I will have to go to the CP clinic or somewhere to get mine.
We had a couple of great meals this week when Patsy Harelik, our neighbor a couple of miles east of here brought some great tasting chicken and rice Wednesday. She was also taking food to Sue and Ike. Angels still appear unexpectedly.
On the Literature side of the house, Lou is still reading novels for the Spur award. One was so funny she gave it to me to read. I still haven't finished Bill Neal's book about getting away with murder on the West Texas frontier. And I have to pick up two books at the Library to review for the Heart of Texas before Nov. 7.
