Tina

I know it's been awhile since we've posted, mostly for lack of anything really interesting to say. The only news is the recent addition to our family, the goldfish Tina. We brought home about 12 goldfish from Dad's office halloween party. I keep a small goldfish bowl and some food in a cupboard for just such occasions. For some reason Jody took a real interest in them, even researching them on the internet to know how best to care for them. The week following the party it wasn't unusual to hear "Noooo!" from the other room, and we all quickly learned it meant another fish had not made it. Well, one single survivor was left and Jody declared that it had lived long enough to give it a name- Tina. The other day I was waiting for Jody out in the car and after awhile I came in to find him. He looked so distraught and said "Angela, we have a problem". It seems the fish had gone down the drain while he was changing the water. Jody could see it but didn't know what to do. I actually had to stick my hand down the disposal (gross) and scoop it out (even grosser). Well, Tina survived. She now has a new small aquarium with fake plants and everything. Why Tina you ask? Every time Jody feeds the fish he says "Tina, eat the food. Eat the food!!!". It hasn't got old yet. We laugh everytime he says it. I guess a fish is better than the two dogs, two birds, or the pot belly pig Jody has brought home throughout the years! We love all of you and miss everyone that's away.
