Glad you Agree!
This was my Blue Moon last night.
Driving home from work last night, I thought I would go down to the waterfront, as it was such a beautiful evening and would probably be a beautiful sunset – and who knows how many more of them I would be privy to before winter sets in. It happens so fast, you know!
Then I started to feel sad. I had no one to share the sunset with. I could go down to the waterfront – I had a chair in my trunk – I could sit and have a very peaceful time, looking at the water and watching the sun go down. It’s not that I was lonely – just didn’t want to be alone.
As I’m about a mile from home, my phone rings ( don’t tell anyone that I answered it as driving) but it was me best & oldest friend, calling to ask if I wanted to meet for dinner. And wanting to meet for dinner at the waterfront I was headed towards. Of Course!!
Over dinner, we discussed how great it was that we were both still in-sync with one another.
A great dinner (Cedar Plank Salmon) and such a beautiful view.

And it turned out to be a beautiful sunset
And the perfect evening with the perfect friend.

Me too, nothing to do with anything that has nothing to do with real humans. It is a victory this work, with these wonderful and travelling images...a victory of friends building together a great memory, and living a lovely day. Rated with thank you for sharing!!

We don't get sunsets over the ocean here. Wrong direction.

Also...thank you for getting away from the political posts. Not being able to get on here the last few days was almost a God send. It's been like reading the most viewed on the cover for days on end. ~r

Stathi - glad you understand "nothing to do with real humans" - right?
Gerri - thanks - I will definitly check out that link.
Kosher: yes, I remember watching the sunrise over the ocean. It's a lot easier to catch the sunset these days.
Throughmyeyes: I agree with you - we should all reach out more. I guess the lesson for me was that I could have called her or another friend , but it worked out like it was supposed to - a wonderful evening.

We saw no moon at all as England was as usual covered in dense cloud.
