HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRY!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

72 Hours... his dream came true for 72 Hours.  He loved this car.  We bought it for my birthday and his birthday and all the Christmases for the next five years...but only had it for 72 hours.

His birthday is today. I only wish we still had this car.  He loved it.  What was the problem?  I could not ride in it. I could drive it, but not ride in it. The suspension did something to my lower back and legs that was beyond painful.  When we bought it and drove it home, I was riding and in tremendous pain on that two hour trip. 

Long story very short, we could not keep it. He still wishes he had the car and I still watch for one to buy for him but I think we missed the window. The kids all ask me what to get him for birthday, but I have no idea. With our downsizing and joining of families, we are basically purging down to basics.  He had one back in 1970... a REAL one as he says.  I dare not try Ebay for anything. If it happens it will be a newer model.



So today, we will go to his favorite restaurant, Uncle Julio's... and maybe snag my Mom... as her birthday is tomorrow.  All the kids will come with the grands.  What fun.  






I have known this man since I was 11 years old. I am 62, so that is over fifty years.  He captured my heart the first day I saw him in Jr High. Our years have been richly blessed and we are more in love today than yesterday.  




Once in a lifetime if you are blessed you find that soulmate people always dream about. Terry Pace I am so thankful for you in my life and all the wonderful things you gift each of us with each day.  While I am sorry there is no Challenger outside on the driveway, I can promise lots of love in the years to come. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY T.P.

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Corinthians 1:2

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 ...
