Some neat photos of our drive home from Cherry County Hospital

We had heard that the ice by the Cornell bridge was something folks here hadn't seen in a long long time.  The ice on the Niobrara was bunched up so thick that the "dam" was covered.   We had to go see it.   So on the way home - after my release from Cherry County Hospital --- we took the long way home. 

There was water flowing now -- as we were really a couple of days late in our viewing.   But it's still a neat sight.

We took the photos from the Cornell bridge.  At one time the ice was up to the bottom of the bridge...it was lower at this time.

We decided to go on to Berry Bridge which has often been the "getting off" point when we tubed or canoed with kids from Prairie Light Youth Camp.  We would go through the Game Refuge.  I am not sure if there are any buffalo remaining on the Refuge and the Texas Longhorns have been gone for years......but there was a herd of bull elk.   So here are some photos for the hunter in you --- or the
wildlife lover......

                                

   

Man! I wonder who gets to collect the sheds!!!!   Anyway - this was a pretty awesome sight!!
We arrived at Berry Bridge and it wasn't really anything special to see.   But for those of you who have gone down the Niobrara with us to this point - or past ----   that little waterfalls on the right is one that kids have really enjoyed at the end of their trip.

I am improving daily with getting around.  Some pain is still there but as I was told -- "you have to give it 6 weeks for bones to heal" .  I didn't always sleep the night through when I was in good health and things haven't changed --- but I am getting good rest.   Gary is great!!!!  Neighbors have been awesome --- visiting and bringing food.  I have no complaints.     I did just have a thought though.....I just folded some clothes.....perhaps I should put some lacy undies in the "wrong" drawer and see if I can get a little pay back !!!😁😍

THANK YOU for the continued prayers!!!  God is watching over!!!
