40th Anniversary… First Moon Walk, Apollo 11

July 20th 1969 “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed”

Where was I you ask?  Living in Atlanta Georgia while Trinon finished his two years in the Army at Ft. Gordon after returing from Viet Nam. Our little black and white TV had no sound but “as-luck-would-have-it” the landing was being covered on the radio as well since so many people didn’t have Televisions back in 1969. I turned up the radio and watched the tiny TV awe struck at the importance of it all. It truly was “….one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind”. I know because I was there!

Tortoise info…. on 7/15 “Bumpy” laid 5 eggs and on Riley’s 6th BD the Mrs. laid a bakers dozen. Watch for hatchlings the first week in October as well as the birth of our 5th grandchild, Brodie Thomas!!!
