MORE HONORS FOR LOU
When we got the mail this morning, Lou was pleased to see the front page story about her winning her second Stirrup award. Then later Judith Keeling, executive editor of the Texas Tech Press called to tell Lou that the Press is establishing a new literary award named for her that will be awarded to a woman who writes a book about Texas and/or West Texas that is considered the best will win the award that will have a monetary award and I don't know the details. She said that Fran Vick, Phyllis Bridges and Joyce Roach have agreed to judge the entries and the award will be every two years, if I got that much right. We will have to wait for the official announcement, but Lou was very pleased to hear about the award.
Today the hospice nurse came with more pills and stuff. While she was here stocking the pill box our preacher Rev. John Woody and his wife Mryna visited. This afternoon the turkeys returned and Lou got to see them. They are still strutting their stuff. And the deer came by to let her know that they are still there.
Lou is not walking anymore and has difficulty standing and turning around from the wheel chair. However she is sleeping very well due to the sleeping pill and for the last two nights she has slept until 4 and then 6 and has gone back to sleep until after 8. That gives me a great night's sleep and lets me get up at 8 dress and shave and get ready for her. She is using the bedside commode with difficulty in standing up and turning around. The air bed gives her a good night's sleep.
Kathy will come tomorrow night for the weekend and Mark will come again Saturday.
thank you for your prayers.

The literary award in Lou's honors is a wonderful idea--and such a great panel of judges! Please give Lou my love and congratulations. You are both always in my prayers.
