I remember visiting Lottie at her home in Wellington with my young son Kyle, her granddaughter Tessa and her great grand children Jessica and Alex to watch the wild turkeys come home to roost on her property. It was amazing. Lottie knew the exact time of their arrival. It sounded like multiple helicopters were landing. What an experience. Thank you Lottie
