We slept well last night but tired thoughts linger before we get on the road in a few moments. Thought I would have to go buy a hair brush.  LAST trip to NY I forgot my hairbrush.  Must be something psychological about this.  But in the middle of the night I did one of those Sesame Street things were I though back over all my motions before we left and found it this morning.  

We spent the night in Cookeville TN at a brand new Marriott Fairfield Inn. New rooms and beds never used before. That does not happen very often.  Not sure what our stop over will be tonight...but it will probably be in Pennsylvania.

Made the mistake of eating at Cracker Barrel.  We won't do that again on this trip. TOO rich. Our diets have changed so much and that was way rich.  I had two eggs and part of a pancake and that was too much. Poor Terry had chicken and dumplings.  PLUS veggies and many biscuits with gravy or honey.  

Dinner was in the car and it was cheese, ritz crackers and fresh organic plums.  Oh and one potty Stop where he picked up a mocha coffee.

The truckers are dangerous....did take pictures of one that was ALL over the hwy.  Tell me again why we didn't fly? God was so good last night to ease my racing mind and allow me a good 8 hours of sleep. I am hoping Terry is feeling awake for the drive today. We did close to 640 miles.

It was too late last night to upload some photos of the trip. Am testing out the new camera a high speeds you might say.

God bless you in this day.

I looked at your work yesterday and was so happy to have found a painter with a contemporary style. I was beginning to think my contemporary approach was out of whack. Your painting yesterday was beautiful as is todays. So glad to meet you. You're quite an inspiration.

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 ...
