Sunrise in Elkhorn

Saturday morning we headed back to Colorado. When we arrived at Elkhorn, I started noticing the first rays of sunlight highlighting the Nebraska sky. This made me think of the highlights of the past few days.

They started in Lincoln where we stopped to visit with Dan and Tom. Dan took us to see the remodeling projects at his home where we visited with Julie and Madi. Arriving in Tekamah that night Cliff grilled some of the best steaks I’ve had in long time.

Early on Thanksgiving morning Marilyn gave me a tour of the remodeling project they were doing at the kennel. Then it was on to Fran and Robbie’s where we had Thanksgiving Day dinner. There were thirty people but enough food to feed three times that many. It was there I met up with and visited with Marty.

You want more highlights? There were plenty. We helped Cliff and Marilyn make beef jerky - very good beef jerky I might add, we had a bon fire where hotdogs were roasted and s’mores were made, we shot pistols and then went trap shooting, Char rode a horse and I watched Dan wrestle a rooster. One afternoon was spent watching, or in my case trying to watch, the CU-Nebraska game.

But, the true highlight had to be visiting with all the Morrow’s. So, if you ever see the sunrise in Elkhorn drive north about another thirty miles to Tekamah – that’s where the true highlights are.
