EVERYDAY IS DIFFERENT
This morning was different. Lou woke at 6 and headed for the shower where she washed her hair. But she didn't dress. She put on her gown and robe until after breakfast. I have been asking her all week if she would like to go with me in the car to get out of the house and she has been in favor but didn't finally agree until today. She dressed in the morning in her normal sweatshirt and jeans. We took a nap and then she agreed to take a ride. She insisted on wearing her Keds that are way too small with her swollen feet. But we got them on and left about 3:30. We drove to Cross Plains and visited with Pam Harris at the drive-in window of the bank.
Lou wanted a coke so I bought gas at Exxon and got her a coke. We paid our bill at Lawrence and then at Tim's Florist. Someone knocked on my window and it was the Baptist preacher Ron White who told Lou they were praying for her. He then asked if she was diabetic and when she said no he gave her a mint. I dropped off my check at the Library. We then left town going West on 36 and turned North at the East Caddo Peak to drive back through the country following the signs that Childress Farms put up when they were selling Christmas trees. The roads were corduroy and the scenery was brown but we saw a lot of old familiar country.
After looking at Cottonwood we drove past our house to look at the Spring Gap new ranch gate that is ornate. It is a work of art with all of the game animals and birds including reindeer, jack rabbits and every other animal and plant on the place. Lou was impressed. She was able to walk back to the house and enjoyed being outside. The pain pills seem to be working.
We appreciate all the Baptist prayers as well as all the others coming to Halsell Hill.
