Jeff is off from work this week and we have had the most wonderful time together. It is so nice to spend some time alone without the kids and without the worry of a babysitter to get home to. Earlier this week we spend some time shopping at the outdoor mall soaking up the sunshine and grabbing some knick-knacks for the house. Today we went to the archery range and did some target practice. If you have not heard me mention this place before, it is an outdoor field range. The surroundings are just beautiful with all the new spring wild flowers and trees starting to bloom. Well, while we were walking around I heard a gobbler. Of course, I do hear them in my sleep - because Jeff watches the outdoor channel so much - but I was sure I heard him. Sure enough a few minutes later there he was gobbling away and Jeff heard him too. We had so much fun stalking him and looking for the hen he was chasing. We didn't get much shooting in today but we did chase down a Tom.
Maybe next time I will actually get to hunt one instead of just chase him down. We will see!

Poor defenseless turkey! What do you eat at Thanksgiving girl? I didn't shoot him just stalked him. It was fun! It is weird to hear their real call. Gobble, gobble, gobble. Funny stuff.
Yeah, no kids so you know what we were doing....cleaning, painting, planting. The stuff the little monsters won't let us do on the weekends because we have to run them to every activity in the world : )
Wow. I am impressed! If I were still there I would put my orders in for a fresh Thanksgiving turkey! You go girl!
