a fake turkey and thoughts.

Target practice with a not so real turkey

in our non existent backyard and

a four year old who is hunting obsessed.

Papa we know that you would have

loved to get more use out of

your turkey decoy, but we sure

hope you are paying attention up there

because you would love

watching "M" with it. 

And just so you know,

the other day, I went to wake "M"

up for school and found him laying

in bed looking at the picture of you and

him and that big big fish.  That day

still the best day of his little life thus far.

And because we probably never told

and if you are listening now . . . thank you.

Thank you for the memories you left

behind and for everything that you taught my

four year old and my thirty-three

year old.  We think of you lots

and tonight was no exception.

And Isla . . . well Isla tonight was just

enjoying her feet in the breeze

without a care in the world.
