A Painting of soft pink and white flowers created in 2013 brings back memories of living at Lake Cypress Springs. I loved it there. It did not love me!  Mold was my downfall.  I was prolific at painting there with my studio looking over the waters of a large catfish pond and Lake Cypress Springs. The mold pushed us back to DRY Dallas.  God guides our path today.  Memories are flooding in with the morning sun. 

Proverbs 4:18  “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” 

Today will be over 100 degrees but by Saturday the high is 79. Weather is the main talk these days. Remember I am in Texas.   We heard they may get snow in the Ohio River Valley. We are to see storms from the Pacific Hurricane coming our direction.  

I REALLY Loved living up in Kentucky on the river.  We were in Ft Thomas, Kentucky.  My soul felt at home. I believe it did because I was born in St Louis and spent all my summers there after we moved to Dallas when I was almost 5.  

I have treasured memories of the house my Dad had built for us in Dallas.  I loved it. My room had a great big bow window, which had pillows and books and all my stuffed animals.   Formal living room with a matching bow window and off of it the formal dining room.  That is where we ate with company or for someone's birthday in the family. Nice large square kitchen with room for a table and chairs... and open to the den with a half wall bookcase of knotty pine serving as a partial separation to the den. There was a utility room off the den. (Who did that in 1956?) We had trees in the backyard for me to climb. Mom grew a garden with watermelons and cantaloupe.  It was there about six years later God decided my older brother and I needed another sibling and that house was not big enough!  

They moved us to a huge 5 bedroom home with no trees in the backyard.  But that first home today on it's lot could sell for up to 500k and the old house would be bulldozed down. (I think Dad paid about $7000 for the original house to be built on the lot.)  Now add a 1 million dollar home on the lot? Oh my stars!!!  Elle

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 ...
