Well the excitement of the eclipse is over and now we are looking ahead to summer and ballgames at the park. The teams have already been there working down the diamond.
Robin and I went down to the back patio at Sis & Bub’s about 4 p.m. on eclipse day to enjoy their selection of food outdoors. We were there for about an hour and a half and were amazed at the traffic through town heading north on Wayne Street/300 W. For the whole time we were there, and before and after there, was a steady line of cars bumper to bumper probably coming from Ouabache State Park heading for the Fort Wayne area.
I was looking through my columns to see if I wrote about the eclipse that happened on January 15, 2010. I did not find that I even mentioned it. The month was very busy as our granddaughter Anna Miller passed away on January 1st and Kenny retired that January so I had other things to write.
