Road trip to Goessel for the Mennonite Heritage and Agricultural Museum http://www.goesselmuseum.com/
*pulled over by a cop on the Goessel Road North of Newton. He let me go with a warning. Good boy.
*Nice time @ the museum. Pics taken of the David Schmidt/Maria Nachtigal display.
*came home with three jars of homemade jelly.
*Subway http://www.subway.com/subwayroot/default.aspx in Newton
*Breadbasket in Newton; grabbed some day-old-fruit-covered cinnamon rolls, peppernuts/pfeffernüße https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfeffern%C3%BCsse , and homemade peanut-butter cookies.
*yeah, it was nice enough, but I just was not as emotional about the whole Mennonite thing as I thought I would be. Sure, I honor my Mennonite ancestors, but yes, I AM HEATHEN! Laguz/Tyr right here!

Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you? Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!
