Off to Cheney, Kansas to attend the Sedgwick County Fair with my WONDERFUL niece and her family.
*A bit of a disappointment. Early afternoon and barely half of the fair was up and running. Nonetheless, we all enjoyed ourselves with YMMY fair food and the exhibits.
*To nieces for a bit of a break.
*Back to the fair early evening in full operation. I have NEVER been to a demolition derby. FUN! Good pics. Then my energy gave out. So, I excused myself, took a couple pics of the midway and headed home.
*note to Self: don’t do this fair too early in the day. It’s fucking tiring.

God/dess Meditation: (alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit) Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as 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.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
