Out East on O Street
Bill Walker
missourisage@yahoo.com

Other day I drove up to the big city of Lincoln. It was a real nice
day, and I thought Little Girl and I should go out and see the
boys. That would be Tink and Poo, out to Rolling Acres Complex.

Now for all you people that thinks Nebraska only has one bragging
thing, you know a some times great football team, there is another
thing to brag about. O Street.

You see you can get on O Street way out west, drive though town, and
keep right on going east for a long ways, all on O Street, which is
something like a total of 60 miles. The strange thing is, it is a
straight line. You can set your cruise control on your RV, get up and
go get a cup of coffee, and don't worry RV will just stay on track.
It a straight shot for all of O Street. Don't laugh, I read where some
nit thought one could do that some where. That is set the cruise
control, and the RV will stay on track. I don't think that would be
a very good idea, in down town Lincoln, there are stop, and go signs,
and the Lincoln cops gets a little upset if one doesn't do what the
signs says.

Now the built up part of Lincoln kind of runs out at 84th street going
east, but you stay on track to 134th Street, and get to jump off, and
go south about a city block, and you're at Rolling Acres. I think the
address is 400 South, 134th Street.

We got there, and parked. Little Girl hopped out of car, and made a
mad dash to see if certain people were there. I guess she thought it
was Sunday. We go  quite often on a Sunday, and there is a couple
that will just about be there every Sunday afternoon. These people
have a small section that kind of belongs to them and a couple friends,
they show up to give special care to. They also make over Little Girl,
and always seem to have a small bag of goodies. Now the real reason
for the goodies is, these are laid out for the departed ones.
Little Girl knows all this, so if she missed them, she looks around,
and helps herself to the goodies.

 There is no need of special care, it is just something these people
seem to like to do. Rolling acres, would put about any cemetery in the
country to shame. The grass is green, and is mowed every few days. It
is nothing to see water hose laid out, and a section being watered. You
can bring  some flowers, you know the kind that will last till the cows
come home, put them in the vase, and they will be there a month
later. Now if they do become bad looking, they'll get removed. But
never worry about them being removed other wise.

This day I followed Little Girl to this one place, and finding the
people not there, I told her to come on and we would go see the
Boys. I walked off that way, and looked back, yes, we were finding
the treats. I walked back, and got her to leave them, and follow, well I
thought she was following. No way, treats are treats, and dad gum it
all, these got to be taken care of. We started out on the short walk,
and I figured she was following this time. When I got to the Boys
spot, I looked back, and  where is she? I started looking, and
couldn't find her. I walked all around, and  figured she headed
back toward the car. I walked back to the car, there she laid by the
building that is the gift shop, and funeral home. A water hose was
dripping, and she was getting a little drink, I guess, and figured she
would wait for me, besides our car is right there.

I got her to the car, and she got in, I then went back for a visit
with the Boys. They have a nice shade tree right close by. I think
all that is missing is a fire plug, got to see about getting one of
those put in some where. Wonder if a green one could be found some
place?

For all that would like to know more about this beautiful place, look up
www.rollingacrescomplex.com

I almost forgot. If you would like to be put there some day, you
need to have a pet there that will say it is alright. Last count I
had was something like 25 big people are there with their pets. Sure
a beautiful place to be put, much better than the city dump where my
bones will be put.

 Oh Mother Dear

Cynthia Groopman

Oh, mother dear, how I long,

To listen to your singing a beautiful melody song.

Oh, mother, dear,

How I long for your smiling personality and sparkling cheer.

Oh, how I yearn to embrace you tightly into my arms, Adoring your sweet caresses full of love and charm.

Oh, mother dear, how I long to hold your hand,

And for you to be physically part of my life's land.

Oh, mother dear, how I desire,

For you to radiate into my soul with beautiful thoughts that will forever inspire.

Oh, mother dear, oh how I deeply yearn

For you to speak to me in a voice so sweet,

But I have to realize and to learn, that you are my spiritual treasure and will forever be my angelic treat.
