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.

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' 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...
