Water and Wine...

For someone who doesn’t like wine, I sure find myself at a lot of wine tastings!  This time it was The Too Far North Tasting Room in Fort Calhoun.  My mom had been wanting to go and we were in the neighborhood so we stopped in!  They featured all Nebraska made wines and beers in a cute little old building right on Main Street.  My mom even had memories of going there for apples when she was a little girl!  I of course took it as the perfect opportunity to snap some pictures.



While we were in the area we also had to check out the flooding.  We drove up by the OPPD Nuclear Plant and saw the water come up so close to the highway.  It is sad to think of all the people who have been displaced by the flood and everything they have lost.  The lady at the tasting room recommended a couple of good places to view the flood, Fort Atkinson State Park and from up by the water tower.  We headed to both those places and even got a little history lesson from Fort Atkinson.  Hopefully the “mighty Missouri” gets back in its banks soon.    


Another great day in the booksnow onto the holiday weekend!
