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.
* no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.

Now that sure as Hela was scary.  My wind a/c shut off.  I went scrambling for the fuse box.  I did a reset on the system.  I went ISO warranty information and actually tried to make a warranty call to no avail.  I made adjustments on fan figuring cool air was going to be a while.  I reset the system a third time and it took off.  When the compressor kicked in…OMGs what a relief!

Family Dollar for “Peace Tea”
Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market for fur-kid food, AND they had some nice peaches/nectarines for a great price.
Dillons; $168 reduced to $131 in coupons
Dillons Petrol; 50cents in savings, used 30cents saved 20cents for later
*2nd trip to Dillons for a few necessary things I forgot, BUT then I stumble onto the mark-down isle.  I found bagged popcorn for 99cents.  Generally, I don’t deal with bagged popcorn because I can pop some GREAT popcorn, but this was white cheddar popcorn.  I can’t do that.

God/dess Meditation: Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan 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 us 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!
