Those Crazy Sicilians
So, I am going to a friend's wedding tomorrow, and will be out of town until Sunday night. Last night, my grandparents called to wish me safe travels, but unfortunately, I missed their call. I was in the town they live in today, getting my teeth cleaned (no cavities, yay!) and doing a couple of things. They were out when I called, so I couldn't go visit.
Before I go any further, let me tell you about them. My grandpa is going to be 92 in December. Grandma is 88. They have been married for almost 65 years. Grandma had open heart surgery this year, and the dr didn't think she would make it, but 2 days afterwards, she was out of ICU and a week later, she was released from the hospital. She is spunky! She says that her favorite part of the day is kissing my grandfather goodnight. They always hold hands. I wish I could find love like that.
So they just called me tonight to talk. I spoke with Grandpa for a while and then asked for Grandma. He said, "Let me find the SEX KITTEN, as I call her..." OMG! He said he has to watch out, how she chases him. So Grandma gets on the phone, and she says, "The problem is, when I catch him, I don't know what to do with him!" I hope like heck that I have that kind of relationship when I am approaching 90. The sense of humor that those folks have. You know that some of the dirtiest things that get said when my entire family is having dinner are said by her?!?! She sounds innocent, but if you look at her, she gives you this little wink, and you know she is being devilish.
I am smiling just thinking about them, and I have totally forgotten about the headache I had 5 minutes ago.
