Tomorrow... we are putting it all together for tomorrow.  Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Tomorrow we will celebrate Stacey's birthday... shhh... she does not know. This is a surprise. She will not read about it here... she is doing the new mommy baby thing.

I really REALLY want to thank Whole Foods Colleyville, Texas for their love and support today. As we shopped, the store manager came out to see us midway and gave us a wonderful THANK YOU card from the store. They have been there for us this past year as their first year open...through my husband's surgeries, through our bi weekly treks in the store, our morning breakfast at seven am before anyone else is there, through the holidays, the birth of a grandbaby... through it all we have weathered this year.  And they gave us a thank you... and a gift card!  They took our picture! Then when we checked out, Terry bought roses for Stacey and I,  and since Stacey had just had a baby, they gifted her roses to us.  No we did not win the lottery, but they made me cry happy tears. We feel like family there. Thank you Maria and everyone else!


Store: Check Out.. The only healthy thing I see are the mushrooms and the tomatoes.  Nothing else. SO sad... but I did get everything on the list. We are having Carrots Lyonaise, fresh organic green beans, a tossed salad with the works, bread, steak, and there will be lentils for some of us. I had planned for Brussel Sprouts but WF did not have any. 









She wants steak... New York Prime... Check.  It went on sale at seven this morning and we got it for $16.99 a pound.  (Not on my diet.)  Also had to get chives, butter and cheese. (???)






Strawberries and Chocolate... Check.  (not on my diet) Lady L and I are dipping together.






Don't forget the cake... could not decide so we have three...but one has her name on it! (Yeah... I have to eat some of this... to be polite.) More pictures to come! Today Lady L and I will begin the process and have everything ready to jump in tomorrow to make her mom's dinner a successful surprise. Today we will make sugar cookies!

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 ...
