Sunday has not dawned quite yet. We were awakened earlier around three by a massive thunderstorm but I am not convinced it rained. I think it was all noise. On our new pillows I never have trouble falling back to sleep. I still recommend to ANYONE out there SOVN Pillows. We have slept so soundly and wake up with out neck pain, or headaches...easy to fall asleep and stay asleep and I no longer have that split bed head in the back of my hair. We cannot wait until our mattress arrives. You will hear about that positive or negative when it does.

Mother is doing better. Yesterday she had company, helped fold wash, did not run any fever and walked with a lift to her body. I am so relieved to see her begin to come back to life. She lost 15 pounds this week. Although weight loss is okay, she had decided to skip carbs and have absolutely no energy. We put some healthy carbs back in her diet Friday and Saturday. Today she should really feel great!

Terry and I began preparing the varnish layers on my work going to Jackson Hole. Each canvas is so heavy we are debating on the mailing, but I know we must. They won't fit in my Passat with our luggage. I cannot believe the trip is only 10 days away. Morgan will be staying here at the house to care for dogs, plants etc. He didn't mind house sitting at all. I will cover gas for him because work is quite a distance from our house. Ben is going to watch over plants etc outside, our garden. Terry's tomatoes haven't produced much this year and we are hoping to still see some tomatoes.

The abundance in our lives is unbelievable. We have much to be thankful for and feel truly blessed. Daily I give thanks for so many things that God provides. Simple things like sitting here typing this to you, washing dishes after sharing a meal with Mom and Terry, folding clean wash....By affirming those blessings to Him we show Him how truly aware we are of what we have. He instills in each of us different gifts in addition to the ability to make our own decisions about life and the things we do. He provides unlimited potential and nudges us along to be the best we can be.

Be grateful today and approach the Lord with Thanksgiving.

Grace,
Laurie

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...
