We arrived home late yesterday afternoon.  Paddy was happy to see as was Ms Vicki.  I love coming home to the trees and the quiet of the lake. Yes we are pretty far out here, but I love it.  

We had lunch with my Dad and brother Bill yesterday and enjoyed catfish and hush puppies. For those of you from the north, hush puppies are little corn breads in spheres that are deep fried.  Yeah, it was all off of our diet... we didn't eat much. I ate one hush puppy and my fish and LOTS of salad.  We also hit WHOLE FOODS for organic vegetables, fruit, tilapia, salmon, and my lactose free Horizon Milk. Can't buy it anywhere local. Bummer... so two coolers handled the fish, milks, yogurts and cheese.  Also picked up my favorite nitrate free German Summer Sausage.  They are forecasting more snow and sleet on Tuesday. We already slated to make sweet potato soup with German Summer sausage and onions.  
Why is my mind stuck on food?  Probably because we didn't really eat when we got home last night and I am starving right now!... Fast blog and in to make some scrambled eggs rolled in tortillas.


World news... I feel like I missed so much when I sat down last night and watched the rioting in Egypt. It is world away and yet we should recognize the dominoes that may fall around us from what is happening around the world.  We cannot physically do one thing to affect what is happening in Egypt, but we can express pure love and pray for world peace.  Many times in the bible when dissension occurred, Jesus would say, "Peace be with you" . When you feel overwhelmed  or moved to worry with what is happening in the world, we must learn to repeat as a mantra, PEACE BE WITH YOU.  


Keep the peace in your heart and your home. Let the love light from this shine into the lives of other you know. His Peace is available to anyone that is ready to believe. It is only through calm thinking that we can truly grasp situations around us as they unfold.  Bless others with the light of your inner peace.  Pass it on to others in need.

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...
