There is a better way thought. You can set your sail and use the wind to take you where YOU want to go!

Anna Lefler -- That's what she said! (Did I even use that phrase properly? I'm so not hip to the lingo.) Jenn of Many Cabbages -- Ah, thanks. That means so much to me. Incidentally, I did try to pitch this story to a few news outlets. I can't believe they didn't want to do a story on her! meleah rebeccah -- Windy sounded angry then, didn't she? But somewhat hopeful. She didn't know at the time what was in store for her. Shame. MIchelle Gartner -- OMG. I wouldn't have been able to emotionally handle Pooh in a tree. If he lasted a year, it's a testament to his will. Good 'ol Pooh! Viveca from Fatigue Be Gone -- I could take a boombox outside like Lloyd did in "Say Anything" and play it for her, yes? Katherine Taking Yet Another Picture -- I love the story of Long Monkey. What a name! I'm guessing he looks like a giant cond.... oh, nevermind. Windy would be happy to know she has a long-distance friend who's also stuck in a bad way. Crazy Working Mom -- You know, my husband used to always say that we should write a childrens book together. I would do the story and he would illustrate. He's quite a good sketch artist. Hmmmm.... it's really not a bad idea at all. I should google whether there are any kids books with an environmental theme. spun -- If only. Keith at Norman Rockwell Art -- Blows indeed! That reminds me of a quote from Bart Simpson. I forget what he said it in response to, but it was "I didn't think it was possible for something to both suck <i>and</i> blow." daoes -- Now that you guys are putting it that way, yes, she got the good end of the deal. Barb at WillThink4Wine -- Yep. She had some girth to her. Now? Skin and bones. storybeader — Windy would be pleased to know that.

Beautifully written. Psst! I have to tell you something! I think I have Windy's cousin in my backyard tree! His name is Long Monkey Balloon. He has monkeys all over him. We got him a few months back. You blow him up and he is about six feet long. Then you can shoot him across the yard like a bullet. Sadly, my teenage son decided to try him out. And he is now in the tree. The Monkey Balloon, not the son. He is deflated, tied at both ends still and has been through rain, wind and snow. I won't tell you what he resembles up there, because I have to remain family friendly. But his nice name is Long Monkey Balloon. I think he is related to Windy. .-= Katherine Taking Yet Another Picture´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.shoot-me-now.com/p-s/">P.S.</a> =-. LOVE IT. Beautifully written. Psst!

When we first moved here 5 years ago- there was a mylar pooh bear balloon stuck in the trees by a mall. It had obviously got away from someone who bought it at the Wal Mart across the street. We (my children and I) kept tabs on that thing while driving by for over a year. It finally disappeared, but it was up there for over a year at least that I know of. And that's quite a feat in Wisconsin with our winters and all.
