Zaven and Ermanno's Clara ~
Serole, Italy 22nd Maggio.
We were going for our after dinner passegiata and in front of Marisa (the only one with the telephone when the field was on fire fame) and Ermano's house, their dogs were barking so she comes out and shouts, "Allora!" But then realizes we are there and felt silly and we say good evening and Joe wants to ask Ermanno about our broken wood stove door, because Paolo, who knows everything, said Ermanno might have an old one because apparently he has everything (he was some sort of tinker person before he retired and became a full time animal lover, but not in the creepy way, he also has a new baby goat, Clara, who was rejected by her mamma (one of Paola's many goats, where his mamma makes the cheese from) so Ermanno, who adopted her, she hops around the house and on the couch and chairs, but has to sleep outside and he needs to feed her from hand. I want a baby goat! Before the baby goat fun they asked us to come in and I asked if we were disturbing them and of course they said no and we walked inside to a casual dinner party - (cringe) so we sat down and ate more, drank more and gossiped with the local farmers. This couple is gorgeous and things like this are why I love living in Italy.
The windows will cost a mint, we are getting another estimate and need to talk to the courthouse about (argh) but I am really excited because we have so many fun remodels planned for the house. |
