So, like we heard on the news tonight that we would be able to see the space shuttle on the horizon looking west at 8:45 pm tonight! I set our timer to remind us, because I did not want to miss this opportunity. Wow, that would be something, aye? The timer went off and we started out the door and down the street to an area where we could actually see the "horizon".
We watched...could see that it was raining in the distance (probably dissipated before hitting the ground...)
Oh, is that it? No, it's the moon!
One of our neighbor's flies his flag 24/7...awesome reminder of what a great country we live in!
"Oh, look, Cliff!! It's coming! See it? It's coming right toward us!!!" We were amazed...in awe...petrified by it's blinding light!! Funny thing, it didn't sound anything like we thought it would. It got closer and closer... "Gayle! Gayle!! GAYLE!!" My heart was beating, faster and faster and faster. I was so excited! "GAYLE!" Cliff said. I looked again and it was...was...why it was a little Cessna puttering over head. It was not the space shuttle. We laughed and a little later, we laughed again at our enthusiasm!
I was very stubborn and wanted to wait just a little bit longer. I wanted so to see the space shuttle so badly. We waited, but a sighting for us just wasn't going to happen. So, we ventured back home.
