Along the Way, Part 2

As I traveled back to South Dakota, I drove on the Laura Ingalls Historic Highway.  I stopped for the dugout display and at the museum in Walnut Grove, Minnesota.  ミネソタ州からサウスダコタ州に帰った時、大草原の小さな家のローラについて勉強しました。高速道路の名前はローラインガルス記念道路。ローラの博物館にも尋ねました。

First, life in the dugout...

More Minnesota Fun

While in Minnesota, I got to visit lots of friends, see some sights and have some excellent food!

I went to the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory with my friend, Diane Tsuchiya.

 

 

 

 

Cindy and I had a delicious salad dinner!

I also got to see another of my college roommates, Tracy.  We had a lovely lunch and time catching up.

Cindy, Linda and I also celebrated Cindy's birthday!

Coco enjoyed the celebrations, too!

Along the Way

After returning from Florida, I went back to Minnesota.  As I drove, I kept my camera handy and took pictures of things I don't really see in Japan.
フロリダ州から帰ってきて、ミネソタ州に戻りました。運転しながら、日本で見えないものの写真を撮るために近くにカメラを置きました。

Guest Posting

As I have been traveling the past few weeks, I have not been blogging-on this blog.  I have been invited to write for a friend's blog.  She is blogging through the Bible as her husband preaches through the Bible.  She found that it was a lot for her to do every day so asked some friends to join her on the journey.

So, Thursdays you can find me blogging at: Blogging Through the Bible

The adventures of Flat Coco continue!  I will update soon!

Florida Adventure Continues, Part 3

I was also in Florida for work!  I attended a seminar for church planters.  It was awesome!
実は、仕事のためにフロリダ州に行きました。開拓伝道のためのセミナーを参加した。とってもよかった！
Over 5000 people attended the seminar.  We had beautiful times of worship and great times of learning.
5000人以上が参加しました。きれいな賛美タイムも素晴しいメッセージもあった。

A man took notes of the main points on this white board while the speakers were speaking.

Paul Coleman was on fire!  He loves God and wants to share that love with
as many people as possible, as soon as possible!

I stayed at a lovely hotel by a lake and enjoyed the evenings there-after sushi!

Coco, be careful!
