Farewell to Kisses

Well the Blizzard of 2011 brought us lots of excitement and a little sadness.  We woke in the morning and were enjoying the pretty snowfall when we heard a loud crash.  A branch came down and sheared our electrical right off the side of the house.  Power surges and burning smells prompted the arrival of fire and ambulance and we were evacuated in our pj's into the ambulance.  At first, the boys were terrified, but then realized they were actually IN an ambulance with a real fire fighter and came around fast.  :)

Upon getting the okay to return inside the house, we learned that the burning smell was most likely coming from our appliances.  (We won't know for sure what was lost until power is restored.)  After a quick inventory we noticed Kisses the goldfish wasn't moving much.  Kevin thought she might be sleeping, but upon returning home this morning, found that she had gone to the big fish tank in the sky.  Apparently, her tank fell victim to the surges as well.  Poor Kisses!!  We'll miss her!!  We were just preparing to celebrate her 1st birthday.

Let's hope the boys don't notice a difference in our replacement fish.  Kisses 2 will be making her debut soon.  But for now, a moment of silence to celebrate the short life of our very first pet.

Farewell Kisses!!
