The moon landing. B and I were on one of our first dates that summer. His mother and stepfather were staying at the farm he inherited in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. From where we lived, that was about a 2-hour drive. It was a beautiful old farm that I really fell in love with. Later, he sold all that, and it’s probably all developed now.
But back to the story. So we were falling in love, and it showed. I’m sure his mother (WASP) was mortified. But she didn’t really enjoy cooking, but Bill( the stepfather) made burgers, and Lee( his mother) made artichokes. I’d never had an artichoke and didn’t know how to eat it. Funny story!!!
Anyway, it was the moon landing!!!!. So while they walked on the moon, we were kissing on the couch. Quite a memory. We’ve always had these cool links in our relationship!

Beautiful memory, Chris. Hugs, dear one.
Dad came up one night and told me to get out of bed and come down to the television…to watch the moon landing! One of the landmark moments in my childhood…i then got airfix kits of saturn five and the moon lander….and kept them for years!
Lovely memory – thanks for sharing
I remember the landing was on literally all the channels, which interrupted my cartoons. What a selfish little lad I was that day.
