Hello bloggy friends,
Happy new year!!! We welcomed 2011 with a short trip to the beach. We played with the kids, roasted marshmallows by the fire, walked on the beach, and reflected on our incredible year. Unplugged. Quiet. Relaxed.
Arriving home, excited to see our new fireplace (that's the way to renovate, folks. Leave town), Rob punched the button on the garage door opener. We rushed under the rising door and ran in through the laundry room. The kids and grandma trailed behind.
After we checked out the fireplace, Rob headed to the front door to begin the less-than-thrilling unpacking. Suitcases. Coolers. Toys. Pillows. He summoned the kids to help.
At the front door, he paused. He hollered, "What's this?" Hoping that maybe we got a cool package delivered while we were gone, I ran to the door. He bent down so I couldn't see past, picked up the package and turned to me. "What is this?"
"A goldfish!" I exclaimed. "Who left a goldfish on our front step?" I looked around, as if someone had just left it and run off.
Thus, 2011 begins! "The great goldfish mystery of 2011" sits on our kitchen counter... Not in the same bowl as our betta. Now to give the little guy a name. And get him some food.
How did your year begin?

Mine began by celebrating my granddaughter's first birthday. Ari was born 1.1.10 at 3:00 a.m.!!
I think a great name for your goldfish would be Shark Bait
(Finding Nemo is a favorite movie in our house!)
Dana, I'll add that name to the idea list!
Barb, Ari's birthday pics are adorable. Glad she was feeling better for her special celebration. Must be fun looking back on last year's anticipation knowing the joy you have today. Happy birthday to you!
Sadly, our little mystery fish has passed on as they say in these parts.
Nameless.
But loved... as much as one can love a stray goldfish.
