FULL KITCHEN
Side-by-side refrigerator, range with oven, coffeemaker, microwave.
Originally, the Hangar was supposed to be
a service barn, then it turned into a garage and an office with living quarters. The more we added, the nicer it got! It has
central heat and air, a living room with a twin bed, a sofa, a nice recliner, and a TV. The Hangar
also features a full kitchen with microwave, double door refrigerator with icemaker, range with oven, a table and 4 chairs. The bath
has ceramic tile, pedestal sink and glass enclosed shower. The Hanger has a large plushly carpeted
room upstairs (18 X 36) with a cathedral beadboard ceiling and two ceiling fans. The huge bedroom has two
king beds, a futon that makes into a double bed and an antique twin bed with TV and also a sitting area. It will sleep
6-8 comfortably in a dormitory fashion. We can also move in extra cots.
There is a patio out front which has a
patio table and chairs, metal rocking chairs, a bbq grill with the addition of a copper firepit which is really wonderful
on those cool nights of fall, winter and early spring. Personally, that is our favorite time of the year when the days are
pleasant and the nights a little chilly!
Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the Hangar. If you have toddlers, are elderly or disabled, please be
aware of the stairs.

One of the most memorable events that
I have ever had in my entire life was landing on the Ruth Glacier on Mt McKinley in Alaska. It truly was reaching out
and touching the face of God. As called by its Indian name, Denali, the Great One, McKinley is the highest mountain
in North America. We went up in airplanes two times before to get a glimpse of the Great One but clouds shrouded this
elusive mountain. The third time was the charm. The day broke crystal clear, and there before our eyes was this
enormous mountain, far larger than all the others. We took off from the small village of Talkeetna and flew over a rescue
operation to get a group of stranded climbers off the mountain. What a treat it was to sit at a small cafe that evening
listening to their stories.There is nothing I can say to compare with standing there, snow all around us, looking up at a
the circle of ragged, lofty peaks. It gave us a true feeling of humility to know how small we are and how great
are the works of the Lord.

Why
do we call this cottage the Hangar? We have called this facility the Hangar because Del and I are both general aviation pilots.
So are our sons Jeff and Scott. Del was a Captain in the USAF 1970-75 flying T38's and the Convair T130. Currently, he is
a flight instructor in the civilian world. We are decorating the Hangar with many articles of our collected flying paraphanalia.
Above, Del Meischen
in our Cessna 182 flying near Bellville. Betty is actually flying the plane at the moment the picture was taken.
Del as instructor always sits in the right seat when we fly. Even though I have had my pilot's license for over 25 years, he still thinks he needs to instruct me. I still make
pretty decent landings but we don't fly near as much as we did in our younger years. An occasional flight to Dallas
to see our son Scott or down to Port Mansfield near Padre Island to go fishing with our son Jeff. He has a really neat
beach house there which he leases out. When the kids were little we flew to California,
Alabama and Colorado with all three in the back. We really had a great time flying
to Oshkosh Wisconsin to the big airshow there. |

A covered carport/patio cover in front keeps the rain off our guests. The car in front of the Hangar is a 1928 Model A Ford. Betty and son-in-law
Ryan are riding in the rumble seat. Daughter Becky and sons Jake and Sam are seated in the car. |
Entry to Hangar I is through
the single door on the right. Through the French doors on the
left is HANGAR II--THE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS Renting both sides
gives our guests 2 King beds, 1 queen, 1 full, 2 twins, 1 sofa, a full kitchen and 2 baths |
