Shooting Stars


Is there anyone alive who doesn't thrill to see an unexpected shooting star? When I was a little girl at the drive-in movies in Vallejo there was a huge one to the left of the screen I've never forgotten. Last week I saw a fat shooting star to the right of the outdoor Clayton movie! Last night I left home at 10:30 on a warm summer night in hopes of finding a dark, safe place to view the meteor showers. In an hour I saw 22 beautiful stars. I looked behind me and there was a low, orange half moon! I tried to fall asleep once I got home but was still awake at 1 a.m. and ventured out in our front yard darkened from the street lights and saw seven more stars that hour. It is so wonderful and I loved each and every one.
