One of the perils of farm life was the fact that grandpa came to the farm every night with his home brew grappa and Vin Santo and he wanted to offer you some and chat. It didn’t phase him at all that no one spoke Italian except for him. He had a little iPad translator that barely worked but it was enough to communicate a few things.
When we got back to the farm, he was waiting for us so we decided to chat it up with grandpa – Tony, Maddie (who knows some Italian), Dana and me. He kept moving the conversation towards wanting to dance with the ladies. Before you knew it, he’d pulled up ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ and I found myself in Grandpa’s arms. Thankfully Tony and Maddie were dancing at the same time and saved me from being grandpa’s permanent dance partner. We did the ‘switch’ halfway through the song.
After a day in Siena, a ‘cankle’ scare, and the full 4 course wine tasting dinner – I was ready to head off to bed. No one wants to dance all night with grandpa. But it was fun to have more time with Tony and Maddie and it gave us much to laugh about that night..
They were leaving in the morning so it was our last chance to hang out with them some more. Overall a very fun night – dancing and all.
