I am actually blogging on Wednesday night and will post it automatically tomorrow morning as you read this.

We made an error and filled up with fuel at a station that obvious did not have good fuel. We made it about an hour or so from there and the car stopped. We were in the middle of nowhere in Dublin, VA. After two hours of patience we tracked down a tow truck and were towed to Blacksburg to THE BUG SHOP. That is where the car is now. The tow truck driver was very nice and dropped us off at the Marriett where we await word of the car. Not sure of alternate plans. God's hand is in this because there was a huge wreck on the 81, the highway we were on. The weather today was HORRIBLE, treacherous, and dangerous. Rain, rain and more rain made it difficult to see and truckers were literally doing over 85 mph in the driving rain. We saw NO hwy patrol out at all. So we know not what the morrow will bring, but we know He has His hand in this.

Last night I felt totally weak and tired and worn out and amazed and thankful for Terry's ability to drive on to get us out of bad weather last night. We woke to it totally overtaking us this morning and just set out on a pace to make Chambersburg PA... which we only made about 300 miles... about 250 short of our goal. We have 650 miles to make by Friday at 2 pm.... so what will be will be.

We are going to head to the hot tub, come back, shower, eat some cheese and fruit and go to bed. The bug shop is due to call tonight about 8pm. If it is just fuel, they said they will have it fixed. If they do, we will head out with the sunrise. If they don't... we will be here in Blacksburg and probably renting a car to finish the trip back up to NY.

Terry is threatening to sell the car. It may be part of the equation. I sincerely appreciate the kind notes as we travel. I pick up emails on my Iphone but have to wait till evening to do my computer stuff.
Keep us in prayers.

I spoke with Vicky and we did get about an inch or more of rain and more is due tomorrow. Our kids in Dallas have been in watch of flooding water as the Trinity River is hitting a high crest soon. Was a small hurricane but brought much needed rain to Texas.

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and painting.

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

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...
