$500 BOTTLE OF WINE

BY REX

LAST FALL WHILE VISITING MY MOTHER IN GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN, WE BOUGHT A $12 BOTTLE OF CHERRY WINE FROM DOOR COUNTY. THIS MORNING THAT BOTTLE OF WINE WAS WORTH AT LEAST $500 TO US!!!

I RETURNED TO HARVEY’S AT LAKE TAHOE AND WENT LOOKING FOR THE GUY THAT WRITES THE SCHEDULE, MIKE. MIKE IS ORIGINALLY FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN. RETURNING TO HARVEY’S THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER THREE YEARS BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE TO BE REHIRED. WE WERE LEFT ON THE BOOKS LAST FALL WHEN WE DEPARTED, THANKS TO A VICE PRESIDENT I HAD WRITTEN TO.

WHEN I FOUND MIKE HE WAS POSTING THE NEW SCHEDULE, AND INITIALLY SAID HE’D GET ME ON THE NEXT SCHEDULE STARTING MAY 18TH. I MENTIONED I HAD A BOTTLE OF WISCONSIN WINE I’D LIKE TO GIVE HIM AND HE ASKED ME TO MEET HIM IN HIS OFFICE IN 45 MINUTES. FUNNY THING, AFTER LOOKING AT THE PRETTY WHITE BOTTLE AND RECOGNIZING THE DOOR COUNTY WINE…………..

PRESTO, A FEW STROKES ON HIS COMPUTER AND I GOT FIVE DAYS OF WORK THIS WEEK STARTING ON FRIDAY MAY 11TH. MARY WILL BE ON THE SCHEDULE STARTING MAY 25TH.

A WEEK OF WORK IS WORTH AT LEAST $500 TO ME!

OH YA, IT’S NOW WEEK #21 TO GO, AT HARVEYS ON BEAUTIFUL LAKE TAHOE.
