corn field news

[corn field]

The last 2 months have been a whirl wind of activity beside the wine making. For the past 2 years we have lived with our daughter to help her out after the untimely death of her husband. This helped her be able to work and go back to collage while we helped her with the children (9 & 14) and to aid herwith the bills. She is now on her feet again and it is time forPa-Pa & Mi- Mito move on. Found the perfect place just 6 miles away. The kids can walk to our house after school till mom gets home. The house has a full basement that is divided into 3 rooms all perfect for wine storage & small batch ferminting and of course some experiminting. In the intrum the computer decided to totaly distruct. Thank God I had just backed up all of my personal files ( recipts, logs & labels) & photoes. As if that wasent enough I had another heart attack. This sort of put every thing on hold for a few weeks while they put in 2 stints in the heart and one more in the iliac artery to my right leg. That makes 6 in the heart and 5 in the iliac. Next month they will go back in and patch the graft in the aortic anurism. I think they are trying to make me bionic.Every body in the hospital knows I have a small winery so I get treated super nice while I am a patient. They like the free wine they get when I get out. Friends and neighbors are all pitching in to Help us move our selves and the wine. Will be botling some wine for ease of moving and others will remain in carboys for bulk aging. The next door neighbor moved the 20 gallons of concord to his basement for bulk aging. Because of the computer melt down I haven't posted much lately and will only check on the forum about once a week for a while. So in conclusion how is life in the corn field? It is not good it is Grrrreat !!!!!!!!

My goodness! What a busy time for you! Good thing we have the ability to compartmentalize things.

But forward you are moving. It sounds like there's a great support network and it's not all one way. Good for you!
