You Won't Believe It!

I would have never thought it could happen twice....and so close together, but it did.  Two weeks ago today my Mom was visiting from Texas and she and I were having a wonderful day together.  She was driving their new van and we were headed east of Dodge, NE on Hwy 91, when all of a sudden someone pulled out from a side road to cross the Hwy and hit Mom's side.  We are fine and so is the man who hit us, but they did take Mom to the hospital and an EMT took me shortly after that.  We were both x-rayed and bruised and sore.  Mom ended up having to stay extra long while her van was fixed, but we were really fortunate things weren't worse.

Well, this past weekend I was in Kearney, NE at the Nebraska Wine & Jazz Festival serving wine samples.  It was a great event and had a fun time being in Kearney (where I graduated from high school).  As I was leaving Sunday morning, I was going through an intersection, 

when an elderly woman ran a red light and hit me on my side of the pickup.  All I can say, is thank the Lord I was in the pickup, because she was going so fast if I would have been in my car it would have been much worse.  The woman who hit me is fine, although the Dodge Ram did a lot of damage to her car.  I am fine, but my knee is swollen and I have some abrasions on the side of my back, but God was definitely watching over me.

Ed has been busy pruning the grapes and if we don't get anymore rain he should be done in a few days.  Ed, Heidi and Doug bottled the Lot #1  Field Blend and  Chancellor a few weeks ago and they have been selling very well.  The 2008 Temparia should be ready for release in June.

I'll be at the Grand Island HyVee doing a wine tasting from 3 pm - 6 pm on May 9th, so if you are in the area stop by for free samples (hopefully I won't be in another accident!).
