Between Orion and Cassiopeia... That's All I've Got

Haley says you get to make a wish every time you see a shooting star. I've had to count on other wish-making goodness throughout the course of my life... as I've NEVER seen a shooting star. Correction: I HAD never seen a shooting star.

On Haley & Sooz's trip down to Statesboro on Friday evening, Sooz saw a few shooting stars. Upon seeing them, she remembered that Friday night was the peak of the Orionid meteor shower. Lucky, lucky... I live in a quiet and dark community in the country. So, when Haley & Sooz arrived at my house Friday afternoon/Saturday morning, we went out on the back patio (laid on the concrete, yes, we did) and watched for all that wish-making goodness.

The very first one I saw was awesome. All three of us happened to catch it, and it was beautiful. It looked, to me, just like some pictures I've seen of meteors... so let's pretend this was it:


In all, I saw three, I think (over the course of a very cold ~hour). Haley and Sooz probably saw a few more, so they get more wishes. But I'll take my three and be very, very, very happy with them. I love wishes... especially when they come true.

Have a wonderful Monday night and Tuesday... for, too soon, the morning will come.
