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.

Havamal 156.
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

Home long enough to secure the house, give fresh water all around, then off to Medford.
*early in the road trip, I saw a seemingly, fairly young, river snapper https://www.pinterest.com/pin/358036239108854652/ rummaging around on the highway. Checking traffic, I opted to get out of my car to help it. As it wasn’t fully grown, it was more easily maneuvered; nonetheless, keeping away from its jaws and claws, which were formidable. Twice I picked it up, twice it tried to take a piece out of me. I was still successful in taking it to the other side where it was safe with the standing water.
*@ the Medford Mennonite cemetery, I talked to a really nice gentleman from the area who was also a Reimer. We talked a bit about my great-great Grandmother Agatha Reimer being the reason I was there in the first place. I just so happened to still have my genealogy information with me, and was able to show him how my Grandfather Reimer was born in Medford. We ascertained we weren’t immediately related, but no doubt distantly related.
