Back home from a two-day bus trip Going alone, until I received a tip Another lady needed a roommate God's blessings never come late Norfolk, NE was last pick-up point Short break at McD's, a busy joint Toured the Johnny Carson Theater With a 12-foot sculpture of a panther Next, on to the Elkhorn Valley Museum Johnny Carson gallery in tribute to him Square turn tractor, awesome invention Video displayed its movement in action Lunch served there by several on the tour Extra special touch to all of us for sure Quilts on the wall, so precious and dear One with a scene each month of the year From Norfolk to Neligh, oh what a sight Pierson Wildlife Museum, almost lifelike Over 400 in the mounted animal collection Hunted by Dr. Pierson, a must see attraction Then to Niobrara to Kreycik Riverview Ranch Covered wagon ride gave us a privileged chance Viewing herd of elk, deer, and buffalo up close Fed them ears of corn, but don't pat their nose Dinner close by at a privately owned elk lodge Delicious buffalo roast, everyone would allege Then off to our final destination for the night After a scenic, fun-packed day, a welcome sight We stayed at the Fort Randall Hotel and Casino I do not gamble, instead enjoy rummy dominos Brochure stated no casinos, so it was contrary I did not take part, at least it was all voluntary Breakfast, on our own, supposed to be included Mix-ups can happen, as the tour guide alluded Orders by menu, not buffet, caused extra delay Yet it was a beautiful, brisk morning and day I asked the tour guide, one of my poems to read “Who Is The Creator?” God is awesome indeed We drove across Chief Standing Bear Bridge Enjoying a scenic view to the farthest ridge Then we went to the Ashfall Fossil Beds in Royal Dating methods I do not agree, to God I am loyal Looking closely at the Biblical account of creation Our earth is much younger, the Flood caused erosion After an hour, we had lunch at Green Gables in Orchard The secret had now been revealed, that clue was very hard Another wonderful meal, placemat settings of olden days Cute gift shop upstairs, special treasures in so many ways Our final mystery stop was Cuthills Vineyards in Pierce While I did not partake, wine samples quenched thirst Now it was homeward bound and we even arrived early New friends met and memories we will cherish dearly © Carol Salter 7/16/09
