LADY L IS TO ARRIVE

After today I am not sure if I will be blogging much. I promise to TRY to get posts up and a few lines, but Lady L is coming to visit.  Jonathan is almost 14 so it has been 12 years since I dealt with a two year old.

Terry and I were discussing rules at the breakfast table. After visiting with Sheriff Paul and hearing about his 11 year old grand-daughter that watches TV and dances in the early 1 am hours we are making plans.  So Lady L will have limited TV here as we do not want her to start bad habits early at age two.

Paul was giving us his agenda with his grand-daughter for the day.  They are digging a post hole for his new flag; burning trash logs and roasting marshmallows; feeding the cows and horses and riding the four wheeler over two hundred acres.   TP and I looked at each other and decided NONE of the above were things to do with a two year old.

We will go visit the zebras and camels; they will probably terrorize her as dogs are not her favorite right now. We will walk a lot; note to her mom, bring the red wagon. We will go to Lowes just to go and pick out flowers and allow her to run around the store; note to self, do that BEFORE nap time. We will call someone with kids and find out  where there are playgrounds for little ones; not sure they exist here. ( OH YEAH, there is a Mickey D's in Mt Pleasant).  We will have to go to the ALCO in town with her and buy her a fishing pole...and then go pretend to fish.  I guess if it gets warm we can get a small pool for her to splash in; note to her mom, bring a bathing suit.  I need to visit KinderARt.com for some color sheets.

If you have ideas, email me. 

Meanwhile Terry and I are baby proofing the house. I will have to lock up my paints in the tool chest.  PRAY please...

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 ...
