Wow, such amazing photos Kate! I'm so happy that you got to see the Northern Lights at your friend's and at home. Such a treat and doesn't it feel great to check something off your bucket list?

My most recent celestial event was watching the Lunar eclipse reach Totality in the Adirondacks--such an amazing event and like the Northern Lights, the quality of the light was an amazing, not to be forgotten occurrence. Thanks for sharing.

Oh boy, it’s hard to pick one! I’d have to say my favorite is Cat People, followed by Heroes. I could go on and on because I’m a huge fan. 🥰

How about you, what is your favorite?

Not having been a follower of his, it's only now that I am being introduced to much of his work. I'll take a listen to Cat People and Heroes, Mary.

I’m jealous! I’ve always wanted to see the aurora. So glad you got to and beautiful photos. Wow - $1,300 for the pie is awesome too! I will check out the movie. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it as puppets and dancing are two of my favorite things! Looking forward to hearing how your dress-up screening goes.

I "think" I've seen Labyrinth. At this stage of the game, I probably thought he was Santa Claus! ROFL!

No, unfortunately, it rained here. All around us in Central Florida, people were getting photos of the Aurora, but not us. I had read it would be visible for two more nights, but it wasn't to be. I was actually more concerned that my phone had poor reception during the height of the geomagnetic storms. There were also some power outtages as well.

I'm SO glad you got to enjoy the Lights! What a wonderful experience!
