The danger of daughters and skeet
On Saturday, we took off to my grandparents’ house in Hamburg with some good friends, the McKinstrys, to attempt so dove hunting and if that failed, shoot skeet. I hadn’t been down to the Noble homeplace in several months, and it’s always like walking back in time. The place simply echoes with memories.
