oh, i didn't realize that not everyone will be able to see it. i'm sooo sorry!

Sorry you weren't able to see it though!
betty
me too- but we have wonderful skies today here in London anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok guys, the sky was cloudy so, I wouldn't have been able to see it anyways, also I saw it on the Weather Channel and it wasn't that great. : )
ReplyDeleteTry looking one up on youtube....it may not be in the real live moment...but some of the youtube videos are far better then not ever being able to see something!
