The Painting:  Delicious.  It was delicious painting with an orange sherbet color.  But gee, look outside and see all the golden leaves tinted with this orange sherbet color and you can't help but want to paint it.  THICK paint adorns this canvas as you can tell by the ridges of paint piling on edge as I pulled the colors.

The Thought: Have you ever had to pick up the phone and dial for tech support on your computer?   I added Snow Leopard to my Mac. Somehow the morning after adding Snow Leopard, several of my itune folders were empty of favorite songs, like Josh Radin and Ellis Paul etc.  I was painting in acrylic at the time I discovered this so I had to wash the brush and give up on the painting to call Tech Support. I simply cannot function in the studio with out my music.

Well, I didn't really think about this call being tech support, but it was. I went through the website at Apple.com and clicked the support button and answered 5 questions and then it said I would get a call back from an Apple Technician. By the time I finished reading those words, the phone was ringing.  It was Apple Tech Support.

I am impressed.


What we determined was it was snow leopard and it wasn't snow leopard. It had something to do with the youngest daughter trying to charge her NANO on my computer.  Somehow many of my folders remained but the songs were gone.  Some of you realize that this is music accumulated over the past four years.  Lots of music.  I had played the music the day before but when Snow Leopard was added something readjusted in Itunes and poof.... the folders were empty. NOT all of them, but some of them.


MAC has this wonderful feature called TIME MACHINE.  I do believe one could write  a fabulous novel or movie based on a kid at their computer with TIME MACHINE.  You simple click the button and the screen goes starry like and pulls you into a vacuum back in time.  Suddenly your computer is at the date you set.   I love it. The kid would too if he really screwed up, he has an opportunity at take backs.    Too bad life is not like that.  We retrieved the missing music and reset two library files at the same time.  Presto it was fixed. 

I commented how great it was to have such fabulous tech support.  He said, well you have 154 days left of tech support.   You have to pay for tech support each year.  I can't remember why I would have done it, but YEAH FOR ME...I had it.  I will make sure I buy it again as reaching a real person in less than two minutes that actually speaks English with out an accent (For my old ears) is a miracle these days.

The only thing faster and more efficient than Mac Tech Support is GOD support.  God's is 24/7 and instantaneous if you allow Him into your heart.  No, He can't do the time machine go backwards thing, but He can provide instant peace as you step forward.  GTS  God's Technical Support... Pray it forward.

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 ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
