Last night we went over a friend’s house for dinner and a documentary. The food was delicious: we had salad, crab stuffed portobello mushrooms, spaghetti, ribs, chicken, and sweet Italian sausage. It was so much good food, we had to take some home. The documentary we saw was a NOVA special years back, To the Moon. It gives the history of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. It’s a wonderful show and a few times I teared up, seeing the earth from space.
