God Speed John Glenn

50 years ago... glued to our television sets... 

the whole country joined together in wishing our hero a safe trip around the world.

Our hearts pounded as it took off.
We crossed our fingers and said a prayer... and dreamed of becoming astronauts...

God Speed, John Glenn...

My heart pounds again to see he is still going strong at 90!

Must be something up there... in the stars...

Thanks to Stumptown Blogger for reminding me of this momentous occasion.

I knew it was huge, because daddy was home watching it with us.  

He didn't do that for just anything.

Enjoy the Stump
