WHEW!!! Boy, Did We Dodge A Bullet, We Mean A Cork!!

Hello, Everybody!

We felt a little sad on Monday because we had to go home; however, we were very glad that we averted disaster. Let us explain!

Sharon's car has a place in the trunk that Ellen likes to call the basement. It has several compartments under the floor. It is great for packing things like extra pairs of shoes and wine bottles! We also use it for things that we pick up when we are shopping. We went to World Market, and bought a few bottles of wine. We were planning to bring them back home for our wine fridges. One morning, Ellen went out to the car to ready it for packing to come home. She noticed that there was a water bottle in the front seat, and it was FROZEN! She got the water bottle and started back into the hotel. Then she remembered that there were WINE bottles in the trunk!! She quickly did an about face and opened the trunk to check on the "precious cargo". She brought the water bottle upstairs to show Sharon. The look on Sharon's face was priceless! If you are laughing by now, it is because you know that when a wine bottle freezes, the cork blows out!! Ellen assured her all was well in the basement of the trunk. No popped-out corks! Some days, you just get lucky.

We really enjoyed this trip, but then, we always enjoy our trips. Until next time.... ....
