WITH ATTITUDE
Horse Oil Painting By Laurie Justus Pace

18 x 27 inches

Inquiries: Laurie

PAINT PAINT and I cannot wait. Mom and I were in here until after ten last night. I started her on her own painting. I did some washes on some canvas in preparation for today. I get to paint today! My house is screaming with dust, But I will clean it on FRIDAY!!!

We took mom on a road trip yesterday at her request. We drove up to Bonham TX to look at the VA facility and the town. She kept saying it reminded her of Sherman TX. It is a pretty nice town and is closer to the Red River and Oklahoma. We toured the state Vet Nursing home. It was gorgeous... only 7 years old...filled with light and love and people working there that ENJOYED THEIR JOBS! Oh my gosh, what a difference. I could tell mom liked it because the walls were all painted green in the front area. In the Alzheimers unit they are soft blues. Colors are used to soothe and blue is a quieting color. What was neat, from the moment we hit the door, they knew who mom was and that dad was on their list and they were gathering his medical information. Of course Terry and l loved the fact of so many veterans in one place... he could have spent his days there talking and listening to these guys.

We drove around through the town and then north to Lake Bonham. If I ever moved there we would have to live on the lake...OF COURSE. Then we drove back through town and stopped at a fairly new restaurant and had a late lunch. It was three by this time. Food was good and people even nicer. We came home with a lot of new knowledge to consider.

I wrote in an early blog about roadsigns and detours. God is always good about providing those detours. You never know where the detour is going to take you, but the signs keep pointing the way. I remain clueless every morning as I wake not knowing what to do with so many decisions. I have to stop and let those go to God. He will provide answers when it is time for me to have them. Meanwhile today I GET TO PAINT!!!!

Terry returned to work today to his new schedule. He will work 40 hours in three days and be off six days... come back and work another 40 hours. Then two days off and the same schedule repeats. It will help with gas, but I am worried about his sleep...there will not be much on that schedule.

Grace,
Laurie

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 ...
