Last night was kind of AMAZING!!!

I got a late night text from my friend Tiffany asking if I was “outside.” I had just gotten home from the studio, changed clothes & settled in to enjoy a night of SURVIVOR. She said you can see The Northern Lights over Lake Michigan… and even sent me a photo to “prove” it!!! So I immediately hopped in my car, zoomed over to the lake, parked, got out… and saw nothing but black sky?! Wait… what?! Did I miss it??? Nope!!! Apparently you can only see it through your phone’s camera??? Weird. So what else is my phone seeing that I can’t?!!!

Anyway, I got there in time for about 15 minutes of The Northern Lights sky show!!! It was pretty cool… but I was a little underwhelmed just cause I only saw black skies myself?! But I guess it’s “real”?… ‘cuz my phone told me so??? And I’ll take it!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!
