A Painting A Day

RICH RICH THICK texture...click to see it piled on close up!

Merry Christmas to one and all. Tomorrow is boxing day and I will paint again on Wednesday.

I am STUFFED...ate too many big meals, visited too many places today and ate entirely too much... I am rolling my body into bed with a good book....

Grandson slept on the couch last night. He is 9. He wanted to catch Santa in Action. My husband and I fell asleep waiting for him to fall asleep...at 3 this morning, Terry, my husband, wakes me up..."WE GOTTA GET SANTA OUT into the stockings.." let's just say I wasn't my normal smiley self at all. We got back into bed about 3:30 and I had just fallen into a slumber and I heard soft knocking on our door..."BAMPA, MUM' whispers loudly erupted, "Are you awake, Santa has been here...the cookies are gone...yes we were eating choc cookies and downing milk at three....So after only four hours of sleep last night, three hours before three a.m. and one hour after that, I am a walking zombie...the grandson is already asleep and it is just a few minutes past eight! I hope to be asleep by a few minutes past nine!

Stay safe and warm...

Grace to all on this wondrous day of celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans." Worrisome times laced with prayers. The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes. My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years? You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...
