Onto my next topic...wild turkeys. I had never seen a wild turkey walking around this house while I lived here and Erin and Brian had always told us they had seen them. But about two weeks ago, while sitting in the front living room we looked out the window and there were about 15 wild turkeys walking along our driveway! I had never seen such a sight. They are pretty cool to look at. Then yesterday morning I was making breakfast and there they were just in the backyard nibbling at the grass and perching on the swing set.
The first thing I thought of when I saw them was how my mom always uses "turkey" as an insult. For example, when she's driving and someone cuts her off, she puts her fist up and shouts "you turkey!" and then immediately apologizes for using such a bad word.If you would like to see these wild turkeys in action, here is a video. Man, I should work for National Geographic with these skills!
Shoot 'em and fry those suckers. Only imagine the horrible things our brothers would have done to them had the turkeys been around when we were growing up. It's not hard to imagine actually...remember your burned Kid Sister?
ReplyDeleteWas Mike really that destructive growing up...okay, did I really just ask that question?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, we miss you guys!!!! Phil wrote on our blog the other day about us coming back for the fall. We both really, really, really want to, we just still have a lot of anxiety about flying with Sam's alergies. Deb invited us out for Christmas, but we for sure won't come during the holidays--too many opportunities for Sam to get ahold of nuts. Fall might be a good time, but we're still thinking about it. Hope you guys are liking it back there. Who knows, maybe we will see you in the fall.
Love thos boys! Not the Turkeys.
