This is about three days late but I had some problem with uploading pictures, so here goes… 
Last December 1, while blowing up plastic balloons and have the kids throw it up in the air in our unfinished 2nd floor, Reign pointed out that the moon is smiling! And wonders of wonders, it actually was, so I went quickly back downstairs to get my digital camera and clicked away.
It was an awesome view and it was more worthwhile with Khleomi and Xanth singing Twinkle, twinkle little star. It was aptly called the “smiling moon phenomenon” and it happens only once every 48 years, that would make me 70ish on its next show and I reckon with blurry eyesight to boot, so I enjoyed it while I still can four eyes and all.
I haven’t had the time to check out the moon since that night, had projects to finish and kids to attend to but that smiling moon stayed in my mind and I know I just have to get the word out, although I may be too late. I read in the papers that on the other side of the globe the moon is frowning, hmmm… bad luck? I hope not… Come to think of it, what do they call their phenomena? Frowning Moon?
And yeah, just so you know the Geminids meteor shower will have their show on the nights of December 13-14 so be sure to have your digital cameras on the ready, I sure will.
