Tonight we enjoyed meeting with the Granbury writers for presentation of papers and the critiques. Nancy read her blog that summarized our WWA trip. She then gave a presentation of the remarks she heard at the WWA about what publishers want from writers, especially how writers have the responsibility to market their book. We heard some good papers from all of those present. One young granddaughter, (I am guessing 12-14) has some good stories written in the voice of young women. The president, Robert, had an excellent story about his falling in love with his second wife. Others had segments from their novels that we enjoyed.
While in the meeting I got phone calls from Sue who said she was going home from Dallas where she got a good report from her doctor on her cancer being gone. She was going through Granbury and called. She really didn't have time to stop so being in the meeting kept her going home. My housekeeper called. She had called during the last meeting to say she might not clean house tomorrow but sometime this week.
We started the day in Weatherford for a doctor's visit by Nancy. I enjoyed visiting with a man who was on the Cutting Horse association board. I asked if he knew Helen Groves and he said he sold her her first 4 cutting horses and held classes to teach her and her friends how to work them. He was also a close friend of Barney Welch and told stories of their working with cutting horses. I failed to get his last name but he referred to himself as Lynn.
We got to see Clifferd, Nancy's grandson who had his car destroyed when a pickup truck crashed into him when he was stopped at an intersection. He is still sore but is recovering and having problems with the insurance companies involved with the driver that hit him in a "borrowed" pickup. He will go back to work tomorrow. The accident happened on the first day of a one week vacation that gave him time to recover.
