The Painting: This has been slumming around Highland Park in Dallas in multi-million dollar homes being staged and sold. Julie Guidry is a phenomenal decorator. This piece is available for purchase.

The Thought: I have heard of naming pet ducks lately, along with pet cows and pet donkeys and pet goats...but Terry had me the other morning when we were out feeding the fish.

You know we live on what is commonly referred to in our neighborhood as Catfish Pond. We have yet to see one in the three months living here. We have seen them now and Terry has managed to name them. Feeding the fish brought out the bass and the perch and FINALLY the catfish this week with their little whiskers. (Terry rather looks like the conductor standing on the shoreline throwing out the food to the fish.)

When we feed the fish, the turtles come in MASSES from all over the pond, from little bitty of about three inches in size to the whopping big one that was about two feet across. He has started naming those too. I am wondering if these is a disease one catches living in the country. "Name this animal". Thank you God for the names they already have, do they really need more? My intent with this pond is to keep it healthy and feed the fish, fish the fish and eat the fish.

Mind you I have to learn how to clean the fish but I am certain if I can whack up a whole chicken I can fillet a fish. I need to just google it and learn how by trial and error. But how do you eat fish that you named? We are having 'George' and his brother 'Charlie' for dinner?

When we were out sailing today, we came across part of a trout line. Not the best thing to run over with a boat, but in the middle of the lake in a sailboat you don't always have choices. I would imagine those folks don't name their fish...they just catch them and eat them.   I know several weeks ago I wrote about sailing and as we came off the lake there was a fisherman with 100 huge fish... sand croppie? Sand Perch? I can't remember names or varieties. That is a good thing or I might not eat the fish I catch in our pond this year. Vicky won't eat her fish in her pond because they are her babies...fat well feed babies. What is wrong with this picture?

I had not thought about Turtle Soup.... Never had it, have you? I do not think I can eat my Turtles.

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 ...
