Being officially 25 is an interesting feeling. Not a whole lot changed, just perhaps the way a few look at me. I’ll admit, it bothered me just a little to think of myself as halfway to 50… but what José said is true. The days and years go by so very quickly.

Having trouble with my hip the last week or so. Deli’s little bucking fiasco probably didn’t help things any. I guess riding is out for this weekend.

Talked a lot with Dad about selling Faith and Earl. I guess we’ve finally come to an agreement over that. Four is just too many.

One accomplishment this week though was finally wrapping up all fifty-two devotions for my book. Now they’re in the hands of Mom who so graciously offered to edit and gather Scriptures for me.

After that, I got interested in publisher hunting again. I will not be dealing with my current publisher for my future works, so it’s back to the struggle of finding a company who is interested in what I’ve written.

Rain. Chilly weather and rain. I guess fall is really here. Had to get my blankets out the other night.

Dad is home. (sigh of relief) And things are going alright. Horses looked good when he got home, so that was a big plus. Dad’s been working hard already on winter preparations. Getting the house roof done, chopping wood and cleaning out the garage of junk.

Still stewing a little bit over the trouble with my publisher. But not having anything I can do about it, I know it isn’t worth the bother to stew. I keep reminding myself that surely God has something better in store. It’s finding the patience right now that’s the hardest.

Jeremy came and spent the weekend. It was fun - he and Dad got along, and we watched a movie or two. Good to have him out at our place again.

Work goes in a steady stream. 2009 catalog work progresses slowly, but it’s getting there. In the meantime, I’ve got all the other piles of “regular” work to keep me quite busy.
