Stargazing
As weekends go, mine was pretty basic.
The highlight was laying a sleeping bag in the back of the pickup and the husband, daughter and I laid there for about two hours Saturday night, staring at the night sky. Why?
It was the night before the peak of the Perseids Meteor shower. I look forward to it every year, but this was the first in eons I actually got out there and did nothing but watch for meteors. There’s something so awesome about seeing them streak across the sky. Plus, we had some great family time, looking for constellations and trying to figure out what the heck is floating across the sky slow but unblinking. (Still intend to research satellites, cuz it’s our best guess…)
Did a grill out at a friends, watched Nascar and a little bit of the preseason football game. And wrote. Worked my way through a sex scene–one which had a huge impact on the future of the characters, so I wanted to make sure it was “right”. Now I’m back to writing plot and it’s flying. I love the muse when it’s like that!
Anyway, how was your weekend?
It sounds like you had a fantastic weekend! We took our kids to my company family picnic. The girls got to go on all the rides, hit the waterslides and generally have a lot of fun. It’s great to have some days like that.
