Lake Powell, in the summer, is an enchanted water wonderland. We rented a houseboat for a week one hot summer and had the time of our lives. Full of sun, fun and laughter.
We had finished dinner, put all the kids to bed and sat out on the patio to enjoy a cold drink and some quiet discussions of our adventure. It was a full moon and totally gorgeous and our conversations were unequalled. As we watched the summer sky we realized we were observing a lunar eclipse with no obstructions. It was miraculous to witness one of God's creations in such an austere environment. As we continued to converse, one of our friends ran out of the houseboat exclaiming "Don't look at it without eye protection!"
We all looked at her in disbelief and then we burst into silent, but hearty, laughter.
A lunar eclipse, not solar, we were finally able to share with her.
By the way, she was not a Roderick.
