Aug. 21, is the total eclipse of the sun. We will not be able to see the total eclipse, but the sun will be 76 percent covered where we are, unless it's too cloudy, but even if it is cloudy, the sky will darken. The total solar eclipse of June 8, 1918 crossed the United States from Washington state to Florida and was the last time it totally crossed the nation from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

We had a really great week May 21-28 as our youngest son Curtis was home from San Francisco to help us clean and organize our home. It's amazing how much stuff one can collect in 47 years of living in the same place. And the weird thing is that the stuff that meant so much to us years ago doesn't have much meaning at all now.
