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 Russia. Offered up some extra incense to honor that (photo added 3/26/2016).

Jan and I went out to the Red White and Boom https://www.visitwichita.com/event/red-white-%26-boom/33532/ We knew we couldn’t stay for the Boom because we had to be back for Toby. Jan got her first glimpse of Riverfront Stadium https://www.visitwichita.com/listing/riverfront-stadium/32548/ We walked around and went into the team store where I got her another Wind Surge t-shirt. We took a selfie and shared it with several friends. We enjoyed some food and watched the Wind Surge play in Amarillo on the big screen, then went home before the fireworks started. Toby was already anxious, but he soon calmed down.

Jan and I enjoyed even more small, somewhat sexy, talk.

Hail the rising of the Sun! Great Goddess, bestower of all good things. Shining brightly, you traverse the heavens
driving back the blanket of night. Mighty Sunna, be my pace-setter. Help me to structure my day rightly with time to work and time to play. Let me not lose myself to the hammering call of all that has to be done. Help me to follow Your rhythms, for You are wise and practical. Your presence blesses us all.
WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL SUNNA, as we honor the Sunna that resides in us all!
