IF TEARDROPS WERE PENNIES,WE'D ALL BE MILLIONAIRES

Marie and I reluctantly pulled out of the Matzke Nut Ranch and headed for the Badlands of South Dakota.We would like to thank Stan and Dorothy Matzke for treating two nuts like us with such warmth.It was like we had been friends forever.Our drive to the Badlands had an intermediate stop in Kearney,NE.I know my great-grandfather had duty at Fort Kearney,during the 1870's; so it was nice to sense a little family presence.There was also the perfume of Nebraska wafting downwind in the air.Cow No.5 is it's given name. It strongly smells of money and the south end of a north bound bull.We decided to stay with a Patel family again.The MicroPatel was familiar and hospitable.The peanut parfait at breakfast was sensational.
