Big Kandiyohio Lake
Van Reconstruction
From this post......we start replacing parts. I hit the deer the Friday night before Stephen's EOW and since I could not open my drivers door I used my parents car. Just shows they are good for something right? I say that toungue in cheek. Love you Mom and Dad!!

This will need a little explanation. I had to drill out a broken bolt and tapp it for the new bolt and my drill kept on drilling farther than my estimated distance and drilled into the radiator. I would be emberassed to report this, BUT...I had choked up the bit and thought I was safe. End result was a 13/64" hole pouring out the orange anti-freeze. It is amazing what JB Weld and a 3/8 sheet metal screw will do. So far we have 4,000+ miles and I figure that spot is the strongest part of the radiator.

Fixing a Smashed Finger
You have something broke? Bring it on over. If we can't fix it we promise you will leave in no less shape than when you arrived. Smashed finger? Just set it on the vise, shut your eyes and I will heat up a paper clip cherry red with MAPP gas and relieve the pressure under your nail. It doesn't even hurt. I Promise! Blaine Cosner is happy customer number 374. Maybe I should not call him a customer since he did not pay or leave a tip. The smile on his face I guess was a good payment.

A Visit to the Girard Cemetery
Paul Kline went calling with me. We visited nursing homes etc. On the way through Girard he showed me the graves of his 6 children. They died in a fire in 1970. He has gone through tremendous tough times in life. Paul is a retired Nazarene pastor and fills in for me on occasion and has been a tremendous blessing to our church. The people love him and enjoy his messages.

A Visit with the Conley's
Much to my surprise I found a dear old couple at the Rolling Fields Nursing Facility an hour from their hometown and only 10 minutes from mine. They did not know who I was, but thought they remembered me. Much to my delight I found out that he had been my prayer partner while we were involved in missionary work with International Student Fellowship. I have known these saints since I was a child and remember Br. Conley leading the singing at conference many times under Rev. S.C. Rainey's administration. He had a motor of mine that he was going to rewind about 10 years ago, but his health was in decline then and he never was able to do it. We have such wonderful friends that are their children and grandchildren such as Don and Sue (daughter) Fuller, Brian(grandson) and Kirsten Fuller, Mark and Lisa (grand daughter) Rambo, Troy and Alice(daughter) Muir, Daryl(grandson) and Marilyn Muir, Chalmers and Janice (daughter) Douglas.

We Arrive in Chaska
M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A
Carrying on the tradition of my maternal family, the kids always holler out the name of the state when we cross the state boundary line. Yep even I help them!
Following Officer Mike...It was very hard to keep up...we were doing 110mph through a residential and running every red light. (Of course his siren was blaring and light were flashing.) Okay maybe this what the kids wanted him to do. We did get there at a lively pace.
After "pulling us over" at his house he was waiting for Kendra to hop in and try out the squad.
