The Painting:  This was the first in the series for Organic Horse...watch for more happenings with the horses.

The Thought:  Okay I don't have the pictures unloaded from yesterday...but it was wonderful


I am going to share the chicken salad recipe as it turned out fabulous.   Jan you must try this!!

It is healthy Chicken Salad


Serves 8-10.


  1. 6 chicken breasts (which you will cook and debone or buy the boneless)
  2. Two -three tablespoons Dijon Mustard (Depending on what you like) 
  3. Four Tablespoons  Tarragon. Fresh is best, but I used dried in the bottle this time
  4.  4 Tablespoons Chopped Chives 
  5. Two Granny Smith Apples diced. 
  6. Juice of Two lemons 
  7. One cup of diced Celergy 
  8. 3-4 cups seedless grapes (Either color) 
  9. Approximately one and a half cups of Plain Yogurt (NOT SWEET) Unflavored. I use Stonybrook  (Stir in what you need and add more or less by looking.
  10. Garlic to taste (best with fresh garlic, but you can use garlic in the bottle)
  11. Pepper to Taste 
  12. Salt to taste
Every one that ate the chicken salad could not believe how good it was and that is was totally healthy!  Wish it were negative calories, but it is not...but absolutely everything in it is good for you.


Our bodies are our only vehicle through this life here on earth and we must take care of them. Americans have grown so slack in watching their food intake and it certainly does not help when you go out to eat and the helpings would feed two people.  Terry and I have gone back to sharing one entree together and I order a second salad. Saves on the budget as well as the tummy.  


Add some exercise and you are starting the new day the best way.  Another hint is STOP buying the sweetened yogurts.  Buy plain yogurt. Pick up some frozen fruit. We use blueberries and blackberries and Strawberries.  We use a half cup of fruit to about 3/4 cup of plain yogurt and it is wonderful.  Why did the folks making yogurt think we needed SUGAR in it... French Vanilla, Blueberry Cheesecake,  Apple Turnover Yogurt.  Think back about 15 years ago and we didn't have those choices.  The most they had was plain yogurt with some fruit you stirred into it. The calories are double with those pre-sweetened yogurts.  




Happy Eating on Memorial Day. Remember those in your prayers that have served our country from the very beginning.  Include those away from their families serving the USA around the world.
Terry's Dad served in both the Navy and the Air-force.  My Dad was Army.  God Bless our troops and our great nation.  Jan, a special hug to Arlo....we miss you.

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 ...
