Topsy Turvy with this one.  I have painted two 'roll overs' in the past ten years. This is another expression of FREEDOM!

While I write about diet all the time... I will veer away from that.   But did you know that birth control by pill was approved by the FDA and it was released to the public in 1960?  One of the 'out of the box' things from the sixties. 

The population at that time was  179,979,000. 
Today it is  over 314 million.  Don't think those pills worked. We have not quite doubled in population.

Our  national debt was 286.3 billion in 1960. 
Today at the writing of this blog it is $17,573,178,726,315.34. Well, we have really stepped up the national debt WAY our of reach.  Here is a site with the Debt Clock. Do not think ANYTHING worked to stop the national debt. This is shameful.

They did have headlines back then:
1. Adolph Coors III, the chairman of the board of the Coors Brewing Company, is kidnapped, and later found murdered.
2. The Soviet Union shoots down an American U-2 spy plane and captures its pilot, Francis Gary Powers.
3.  Fidel Castro nationalizes all American and foreign-owned property in Cuba
4.  Over 1000 Cuban refugees per week begin arriving in Florida fleeing Castro's rule

In medical:  Dr. Michael Woodruff carries out the first successful kidney transplant in the United Kingdom

In books:  D. H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover is found not guilty of obscenity. 

In Television: The Andy Griffith Show, My Three Sons and The Flinstones

Music Charts top song:  "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.

At the Movies:  Alfred Hitchocks' Psycho was terrifying movie watchers.

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 ...
