flash back

I saw a report on the morning news today about the first landing on the moon 50 years ago in July.  That July my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary by buying (are you ready for this?) our first ever color TV.  We bought it specifically so we could watch the moon landing in color.  Only problem was there was not a lot of color, or color transmitting cameras, during that very exciting, and sometimes fuzzy transmission.  Those were the days when it took a lot of fine tuning and color adjustment to get almost realistic colors on our TV but we did discover, to our delight, that Saturday morning cartoons showed up in beautiful color.  We had a lot of fun watching such classics as "Bulwinkle", "George of Jungle", "Dudly Doright" and so much more.  Life was fun in 1969.
