The Stoniers are here! or Boppa and Grammy as they are more commonly known in our house. After an adventurous day in travel they miraculously made it to the right train stop and at the time they were scheduled to arrive (if you don’t already know how much of a cluster the trains from Rome are read the blog post from our first time in Italy caffreyitaly.blogspot.com May 21, 2011) bottom line, miracle. Kennedy accompanied me for the late night pick up at the train station 40 mins from our place after begging mom and doing chores around the house all day, and I loved every bit of the company, singing Switchfoot songs and cryptically following the blue dot on my iphone map. We got them settled into their villa, a nice late night cheese board and wine then it was off to bed.
The last two days have been all about cooking. We barbecued a chicken in the pouring rain, umbrella and trash bag poncho courtesy of Senorita Shiloh then made chicken stock from the bones for dinner the next night. With the endless selection of fresh produce and perfectly raised meats I could eat at home every night in Michelin Star fashion (thanks of course to the head chef I married).
Tonight we are going to the Agritourismo just up the road to hang with the kittins and wizard goats (what Brody calls them because of their beards) and eat an incredible 4 course meal.
This is the good life.
