WHAT A YEAR!!

 

 

1969

 

.
  
On July 21, 1969 American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped down from the Apollo 11 landing craft and onto the surface of the moon. President John Kennedy's 1961 pledge to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade was realized. "That's one small step for man," Armstrong immortally summed up for hundreds of millions of TV viewers back on earth, "one giant leap for mankind."
Colonel Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr., joined Armstrong 19 minutes later and, the two lunar pioneers planted a U.S. flag. They also left behind a plaque with the inscription, "We came in peace for all mankind."
In all, they spent 21 1/2 hours on the moon before returning to the orbiting Apollo 11 command ship, Columbia, piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Michael Collins.
Peace Plan
Soon after Nixon entered the White House, the secret plan for peace in Vietnam that he'd made a centerpiece of his electoral campaign became clear: Withdraw troops and expand bombing.
Nixon predicted "peace with honor" within three years. North Vietnam's leaders were unimpressed, however; for a second year, peace talks in Paris went nowhere.

In August 1969, police officers began investigating the grisly murder of actress Sharon Tate, wife of director Roman Polanski, and four friends at her Los Angeles home. The five victims had sustained numerous gunshot and more than 50 stab wounds. Tate had been eight months pregnant. In December, another multiple slaying- of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca- was connected to the Tate murders.
The culprit was Charles Manson, a failed songwriter who had spent most of his life in jail. Manson and his "family", mostly female youth who became his groupies, came to represent the nightmarish side of the hippie movement.
Manson and five of his cohorts- two men and three women- were sentenced to death; when California ended capital punishment in 1972, the sentences were commuted to life.
End Of An Era


   
After 148 years, The Saturday Evening Post stopped publishing in 1969. The politically Republican weekly was made famous for its Norman Rockwell cover illustrations.

Albert Einstein's formula for success: 

If A is success in life, the fomula for success is  A = X + Y + Z,   with X standing for work and Y for play.  

What is Z?  That is keeping your mouth shut.

Jungle Juice recipe

This is probably the nearest towards the Jungle Juice recipe that's become a hit in America, not a cocktail by the same name,

but a full-blown party occasion punch.

If you hear people talking about Jungle Juice, this is it. Jungle Juice takes a lot of preparation but, obviously,

is well worth the effort. 

Tweaked to perfection throughout the years. (and we did a lot of research) Jungle Juice is an incredibly potent drink,

and this recipe will make up to 20 Gallons.  ( perfect party size)

4 bottles Boone's Farm® Strawberry Hill wine
8 L Hawaiian Punch®
2 containers orange juice concentrate.

TIME GETS BETTER WITH AGE
Read it through to the end, it gets better as you go!

I've learned that I like my teacher because she cries when we
sings "Silent Night".
Age 5

I've learned that our dog doesn't want to eat my broccoli
either.
Age 7

I've learned that when I wave to people in the country, they
stop what they are doing and wave back.
Age 9

I've learned that just when I get my room the way I like it,
Mom makes me clean it up again.
Age 12

I've learned that if you want to cheer yourself up, you should
try cheering someone else up.
Age 14

I've learned that although it's hard to admit it, I'm secretly
glad my parents are strict with me.
Age 15

I've learned that silent company is often more healing than
words of advice.
Age 24

I've learned that brushing my child's hair is one of life's
great pleasures.
Age 26

I've learned that wherever I go, the world's worst drivers
have followed me there.
Age 29

I've learned that if someone says something unkind about me,
I must live so that no one will believe it.
Age 30

I've learned that there are people who love you dearly but
just don't know how to show it.
Age 42

I've learned that you can make some one's day by simply
sending them a little note.
Age 44

I've learned that the greater a person's sense of guilt, the
greater his or her need to cast blame on others.
Age 46

I've learned that children and grandparents are natural allies.
Age 47

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems
today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Age 48

I've learned that singing "Amazing Grace" can lift my spirits
for hours.
Age 49

I've learned that motel mattresses are better on the side away
from the phone.
Age 50

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a man by the way he
handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and
tangled Christmas tree lights.
Age 51

I've learned that keeping a vegetable garden is worth a
medicine cabinet full of pills.
Age 52

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your
parents, you miss them terribly after they die.
Age 53

making a life.

DO IT

I've heard "money cannot buy happieness", I would like the chance to see for myself.
Age 62
 

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catchers
mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

Age 72

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
Age 92
