August 21, 2014. Western Head, N.S. Mistakes.

Usually, mistakes cost money. Sometimes, other peoples mistakes end up putting money in your own pocket. In our instance, it was wine putting wine in our cellar. For many years, whenever they visit, Dave and Irene have sent us a case of wine from the Niagara Peninsula wine area, usually arriving the day after they arrive. The gift is lovely and we enjoy drinking the wine the whole rest of the summer. When Ken and I arrived, we noted that only three bottles were left from last summer's gift. True to form, on Monday morning the UPS man delivered a case of wine for us, given to us by Dave and Irene. We were grateful. The next day, the UPS man delivered another case of wine to us from the same winery. We could not imagine who else would send us wine, so I called the winery. It turned out to be an error. A new employee sent the order twice. The folks at the winery were gracious and assured me that the second case was our wine to drink, as it was their mistake. We are now the proud owners of two cases of wine from Ontario. We are delighted!!
