my nephew does what?

He hunts!

I had never known until we were texting a few days ago.

Not that we do that often... but who knows?

This text conversation is from September 3rd.

I had sent 'Happy Labor Day' cards to my great-nieces and great-nephews.

 

Zach: I received the card for Kobe today. I cannot go on about how awesome your are. I really appreciate how you always keep Kobe in your thoughts. Reminds me of a very special lady. The love never stops coming from me to you. I love you!!!

me: I love you, too, Zach! I think of you, and your family, often. :-)

Zach: Me and the family are splitting up. That card had me in tears.

me: Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. When did that happen??

Zach: Beginning of this week. I have a lot on my plate right now. I gotta keep my head up and stay focused on the business. I'm not good at emails/estimates/invoices.

Zach: I will get it tho. No doubt!!

me: Your dad can be a big help with that. He has been doing that all your life!

me: He started his business in 1988.

Then, on the 21st, I sent a photo of the lantana with a Monarch butterfly visiting it and sent that out to a few folks, asking if they had seen any yet.

Zach: Not yet. Looks nice!!!

me: Thanks! I so look forward to their fall colors brightening my yard each year.

Zach: I cannot wait for fall/winter. Hunting season!!!!!!

me: I did not know you do that. Deer? Birds? Boar?

Zach: Deer & bird. I got a few doves this year.

me: Nice! That's a good way to put food on the table. Good change of diet to leaner meats.

Zach: You are so silly. I love you.

me: I love you, too!

 

All I could think of was: Zach hunts???

I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised, but he seems like such a pacifist.

Definitely a case of me learning something new!
