And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Outcome: HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DADDY!  I LOVE YOU!

1st breakfast from frozen; pancake-on-a-stick, burrito
<> 
Even before 08:00/8AM it’s muggy and warm.  When I took Toby for a walk around Newman U., much of the grounds was saturated; not pleasant.  It became a somewhat abbreviated 20min walk.  Yeah, I know Toby’s panting is an effort to cool himself, but when it starts very early-on, that’s a tell-tale sign for me to cut it short.

3 loads of laundry

2nd breakfast; breakfast sandwich to include whole-wheat toast, 2 scrambled eggs, hand-shredded-tightly-packed-hashbrowns, ham and cheese…YUM!

Last trip to retrieve grave decorations; this one to local graves.  It was a good time to sit, time to think, time to honor, a time to cry.  When I went to retrieve the grave decoration @ my sister’s son’s grave, my decoration was GONE!  I thought, okay, perhaps it blew away, but no sign of that.  Then I saw a grave decoration in the middle of nowhere.  I figured, lost one, gained one, evens.

Over to buddy’s house with a pizza.  It’s customer appreciation day @ the papa Murphy’s @ 21st and Amidon; buy one get one free.  It made the perfekt opportunity to share.

PM God/dess Meditation: Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, restoration god, beloved son of Wotan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!

I started my playlist of cartoons from YouTube.  What a great start to a Saturday morning.

1st breakfast; a simple egg and cheese burrito with jalapenos added.

At first I thought the morning was a bit rain-cooled, but after a 1-mile walk with Toby, we both were feeling the warmth.  His tongue was dragging; I was sweating…yup…muggy.

Late morning on the road; mostly cloudy.

Grave decoration recovery:
Medford, Ok
Goessel, Ks
Lehigh, Ks
*a road trip like this out to the countryside revealed the wheat harvest is well underway; not complete by any means, but probably 50% complete.  Now the rains need to shut-off so the farmers can get back in the fields.  The corn crop is pretty damned healthy, too.  Most of it is probably standing @ 5-6ft tall.  Heavy spring rains are good for them, to harvest late summer.
*I’ve spent quite a bit of moolah on grave decorations.  It’s worth it to me to make the trip for retrieval.
*stopped in at the Burger King in Newton; unimpressive compared to my usual.
*clouds increase as I approach ICT.
*rain started just as I come into ICT.
Home
*yup, must’ve rained a wee bit.  Toby took shelter in the garden shed.  He came running when I called.
<> 
WOW!  No sooner did I get settled in and another thunderstorm hit.  HEIL DONAR!

Added family info to ancestor meditations.  LOL…glad I’m not getting paid by the hour to do this.  Either I’m too picky or just plain too slow.

Essie is in her safe closet.  That’s how she’s always dealt with storms.

PM God/dess Meditation: Saga, we greatly honor you, goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

Later evening, still thunder, still a bit of lightening, rain is intermittent.  I went out to cuddle with Socks.  He was conflicted.  He’d been cooped up in his house all day.  He was ready to go outside.  He tried it for a while, but wanted to come into MY house.  I picked him up and carried him into his house.  He reluctantly agreed.  I told him I’ll come for him first thing in the morning.

PM God/dess Meditation: Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
