I might enjoy being an albatross,
being able to glide for days and
daydream for hundreds of miles along the thermals.

Beautiful…
I so would, too.
Seriously? Hang me stinking around some butthead’s neck–now that’s entertainment!
Sandy Sue, You crack me up!! I so, so love your comments!! I’m still giggling about the guy behind you in water aerobics and now this…:-)
It’s David, Donna. He brings out the scatological in me.
I had to look up scatological. LAUGHING!
Still laughing!
I am here to humbly serve.
And serve you do…
LAUGHING.
If not an albatross, a seagull would be just fine!
It would!
Me too. But Osprey will do.
Shocking choice of bird for you!
just soar.
