We made a mad dash to the vet last night to board Paddy. We have a round trip into Dallas and back and he is still suffering from his allergies.  We had decided the vet was the best place for him.  The housesitter can enjoy fishing and keeping up with the violets and the birds inside and out. He is one of the best we have had with the exception of Vicky.  She would be here if Paddy was here. I hope he remembers my inside violets.

This morning we are attending a political gathering in Mt Pleasant.  I do not address politics often in my blog and only go so far to say I am very conservative and that probably tells you enough. The Republican Party is having many state level leaders in and we are guests of our local sheriff and his wife. After the morning meeting with speakers, we head into Dallas for our daughter-in-law's PHD graduation from University of Texas in Dallas. A celebration dinner is planned after the ceremony. Sunday will find us enjoying the "Tink" short for Tinkerbelle aka our granddaughter, and Monday back into Dallas for an early morning appt before heading back home.  So blogging will be minimal over the next few days but my trusty rusty laptop travels with me. GO MAC GO!

I believe firmly in prayer before travel for anyone.  God goes before us to make our way safe and our travel successful. This simple affirmation puts a warmth in you knowing that He leads the way.  We are immediately aware that He will guide us as we prepare for the trip and as we make the journey. He will bring us safely home.

No matter what is ahead, we must remember there is no place that He is not. His presence is with us through high waters and storms as well as through the desert. Keep the vision of His Grace leading you and know you are  safe.

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...
