Good morning from Woodbridge VA. I have arrived with Terry and my mom at Mama Nik's house. We flew into Dulles arrived around nine thirty. Got to Niki's about ten thirty. Stacey will be posting my photos during most of the trip. So if you are tuning in for pictures, tune in later today. She said she would try and post before she left for work, but with her being pregnant, sometimes she sleeps in!

We leave to drive from here up to upper state New York where we will be staying in the care of Billie Bauman the Gallery owner of Earth Works Art Gallery. We will be guesting in a lovely home on the Bluff of Lake Keuka. THERE IS NO INTERNET WHERE WE ARE GOING!

I will take pictures. Today I have to stop somewhere and buy the card reader I left at home. We left in a haste trying to make the plane we caught. We travel on passes with American and it was difficult to find somewhere to fly into.... Dulles opened up and we fly first class all the way!

More later and I hope Stacey ads the picture and a thought for you too. I am on Niki's computer as we are in a hurry to get on the road. We have a good nine hour drive ahead of us.

From the heart of Daily Word today and my lack of reflection time to share:


Daily Word — Friday, August 15, 2008







Joy

I experience the joy of Spirit that overcomes any circumstance.

There is a tremendous difference between feeling contented and knowing pure joy. I am content when everything is going reasonably well. My exuberant joy, however, surpasses any feeling of contentment.

Joy is within me no matter what circumstance life may bring my way. Knowing that conditions can change in an instant, I find joy in knowing that life is eternal.

I derive joy from daily times in the silence, during which I more fully realize my oneness with God. I discover joy in the beauty God has created around me: the rain's gentle patter, the sun's warmth and light, a flower's aroma, a child's unbridled laughter.

God's spirit is within me, within all people, and within every situation. This understanding fills me with joy no matter where I am or what I may be experiencing in the moment.


Grace,
Laurie


"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth."--Psalm 100:1

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...
