Okay this is short. Morgan is due momentarily and we load our first load, mainly my art stuff and easels and some kitchen boxes. Also a China box or two. The mover will do most on Saturday but we have to move gas cans, paints etc etc etc.

Morgan also has an interview with Northwest ISD today, so PRAYERS PLEASE!!!!

This move is rugged and only beginning. I hit the wall about six last night, rolling stomach, hot flashes and almost fainted...I broke down crying, took a shower and read my book for an hour. Terry came in and put on the ALY MCBEAL series he bought me earlier this year and I laughed my way through the first three shows of her first season. Aly will get me through the move. I have six seasons to watch through over the next five days of hell.

I need to find a painter TODAY. The floor man will meet us at nine at the house and begin the floors. BUT I need a painter, inside and out. I have so many things to find and remember it makes my stomach hurt. No way I could paint on walls right now, I am too stressed to paint canvas.

Yesterday as I was stressing out a package was delivered from Charlene with my favorite Christmas cookies...Charlene, email me and tell me what they are called? They are German. I am German, Hungarian too, obvious from the gypsy blood in me. HEAR ME WAIL...I DO NOT WANT TO MOVE AGAIN. I think if I were to move again I would through 3/4's of this stuff out. How very painful this has been, and gee we just moved in here 18 months ago. But the house before we lived in over six years. We are getting better at this. Roots home pull us back to Dallas. I have to believe this move is in HIS hands, not mine. I return to home roots knowing there are those that do not want me there, but I am coming. HE has sent me. I have had detours along the way but the destination is in site.

The travels I have had in life have been through the work of the Lord in my life. I count with thankful grace the people I have met and the children I have taught. There is so much out there in the world to experience, friends waiting to be met, places to see, food to eat (Yes Tom, more food) and things to be painted on my canvas.

I am out of here, maze of boxes and all! God Bless you all.

Laurie

Exodus 13:21
By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
