All morning, the sun dipped in and out of clouds over Grand Prairie, a suburb of Dallas where my family had found an ideal house to rent for the long weekend. Ten of us had flown to Texas from Seattle, Washington; San Jose and Los Angeles, California; and College Park, Maryland, for the major astronomical event of the year: a total solar eclipse on April 8.
Tina, your “documentation” of the eclipse was unique and very enjoyable. I loved the FAMILY gathering part, the t-shirts, and that you were able to be with them all including the 18 month old! You always write a great story to go along with your drawings on background contrast-color paper. Well done, Tina. From Kay (who watched a good part of the Eclipse Day on the awesome CNN coverage of it.)🌞🌖🌗🌘🌑🌗🌖🌝
Great reporting, Tina! As I commented in Facebook, I was a little jealous of you, being there to view this spectacle. I can't be too jealous though, as I have seen two myself. (2017 in eastern Oregon and 1975 in the Columbia River gorge.) I'm really happy for you, though, and for your family.
I concur. Great reportage! It sounds like it was a really fun and special time. So glad you were able to go.

These are great Tina. We experienced a total eclipse in the UK in 1999 - your post reminds me of that magical day. I didn’t draw it though…
