Farewell to a Good, Little Fish!

Farewell to a Good, Little Fish!


My parents have spent the last several days in Paris.  A place they love and visit almost every year.  I was left with just a few measly responsibilities in their absence.  You know, run the office, take care of all their clients, present any offers that come in on their listings, water the plants, bring in the mail, and most importantly.... Take care of the fish!

Well, the parentals will be returning late, late, late tonight, and unfortunately, they will not be returning to find Levi in his pretty little bowl.  Sometime during the evening, Levi passed away.  I think they will be happy with the burial arrangements...

Farewell Levi!  You brought much joy to everyone who entered the doors of Pine Knoll Shores Realty and served us well as our Real Estate Mascot.  You never complained when clients tapped on your bowl, you entertained the children while their parents signed on the dotted line, and you brightened up the office each day!

You were a wonderful little fish, and will be deeply missed.

Well, at least it's a little less extravagant than the one you had erected in the Pine Knoll Shores town square...

Roger - I think Levi would want me to have the best..... You choose, I trust you!

Craig - Now, I need a few more closings so I can pay for the one they are currently building in the State Capitol!

I don't know Amy. The State Capitol is in Raleigh and the folks there have already hit the streets in protest...

Keep marching Craig.... I've got my permits, the city officials have approved the project..... You are out of luck, and Levi will receive the Recognition he deserves.  He was a great little fish!

Awe Roger.... I love you too!  I can't speak for that crazy Craig Rutman!  Speaking of weird..... My sister and I were having a very deep discussion yesterday about what normal is!  Have you ever actually met a "normal" person and if so, what was it like?

Of course you have!  Here I am!  You were speaking of normal right?  Bwah ha ha!!!  :)

Okay, back to poor Levi,....

I think he should have said this before he tucked himself into his little watery bed;  "Now I lay me down to sleep.  A bag of peanuts by my feet.  If I should die before I wake.  You know I had a tummy ache."

By the way, what the hell is azarole?  Isn't that part of the female anatomy?  LOL!  (that's the graphic I have to key in to comment).

Do fish eat Peanuts?  Who knew?  Those look like apples, not azeroles.  Maybe an azerole is a type of apple?  Hmmmmmmmm?

Of course they do Amy Hahn!  And yes, they are a species of the Hawthorne family, native to the Mediterranean.  See how knowledgeable I am thanks to Google!  ;-).

Roger - Darn it, I was hoping you could explain Normal for me.... I'm glad you can't ;0)

Ellen - He was a good little fish, and he did enjoy a great life.

Sure, just when I had a quick moment to say high my internet went down!  So I just had to pop in this morning to say; If theses are the faces of normal, then normal is quite beautiful!  Love all you guys!  And I am off,.......!!!

I can't believe you folks are using the untimely passing of dear Levi for making jokes and being silly.  At least dear Craig had the decency to design some beautiful monuments for my dear departed.  Thanks Craig.  Shame of the rest of you decadents.

We love you too Laura!  Check out Ellen's new profile pic.....NICE!

Mom - Levi's passing is no joke.  We were filling our sadness with laughter.... That's all.  Levi would want it that way!  As for Craig...  He was protesting the Monument in the State Capitol!!!!!!!
