He told me tomorrow.   He told me over a triple patty Whataburger and a mess of fries that my studio would be ready to move into tomorrow. I sat there sipping my tea.  "Are you saying I can move back in tomorrow?"  He nodded as he dipped his fries in catsup.  Nope, I do not eat whataburgers. My body does not like them...but I shared some fries. We were on our way to the Home Depot to buy some more glue for the end strips of the flooring that goes up under the baseboard. 

 His fortune cookie said, " Soon you will have a romantic rendezvous."  When we arrived home from his quick lunch and the depot trip, I asked him if I could eat the fortune cookies Lady L brought him. He nodded approval as I cracked it open to read his 'fortune'.  " Soon you will have a romantic rendezvous."   I raised my eyebrows and smiled... tomorrow you say? 
He bought me two new flyswatters from Home Depot, a yellow one and a lime green one. While at the depot he picked up some floor cleaner for my tile floors and two new flyswatters. They are not as good as the older wire ones I have now but they will be fine for Lady L to use as the flies return with the spring temperature next month. Not really romantic...but for Mr. Honey Bunny it was thoughtful!
He told me TOMORROW... I can be back in my studio moving in TOMORROW!!!  I need to go back through my books and make a run to Half Price Books.  I decided I cannot buy many more real books. I had already cleaned out 3/4 of my art books... but not my favorite books from my favorite authors.  So before I can move back in, I have a job ahead of me tonight, sorting and lightening my footprint.  We are cleaning out to open up our lives and our home.  We are uncomplicating our lives.

 Today Lady L was over for breakfast and I was doing a devotional on being 'present' with God. It came out the idea was present and presents tie right in together.  If you are 'present' with God, you are open and ready to receive his gifts and 'presents'.  Since she is homeschooled we did a roll call this morning and every one said  "Present" when their name was called. She really got it. The bible verse was " This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
