I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

To protect my ship from the stormy waves;

And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Wifey conversation.

Took wifey to post office and Family Dollar.

WONDERFUL casserole made by my wifey!

Toby and I out for an early afternoon, fairly well behaved, 30min walk.  Nice conversations with 4 neighbors.
*sunny, mildly cool, fairly stout north breeze.

Got onto replanting iris bulbs.  While doing so, Essie started out on the porch.  Somewhere along the line she disappeared from the porch.  Panicked, I called and called for her to no avail.  Even wifey helped.  Soon enough, Socks comes around from the north.  I thought, wait for it…wait for it.  Sure enough, Essie was off having fun with Socks presumably in the north neighbors’ yard.  That’s all fine well and good, but I’m going to be MUCH MORE careful letting her out front; backyard, no problem, front yard, problem.

God/dess Meditation: (alternate Frijastag) Heil to you, Forsizo, son of Paltar and Nanda!  You’re the god of justice, and reconciliation.  You sit in judgment of the right and wrong of all arguments.  We see you as god of the Thing.  We call out to you in our time of legal need.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
