family reunion How do you Eclipse an eclipse? W BY PAT BURNS BY PAT BURNS ith four siblings and their kids, we are a family of 25 spread across four generations and we've agreed to gather and join the millions of other people setting out to watch the " Great American Eclipse " . Needless to say, a lot of effort in planning and keeping control of everyone's moving parts is required to pull off a family reunion along with the epic eclipse. On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will rip across Mexico, the US, and Canada. The total event - from start to finish - will take 139 minutes, giving a glimpse of solar eclipse totality to over 30 million people. Unless you have extreme longevity in your DNA, you'll want to find a place to watch this eclipse because the next great total eclipse in the United States will be in 2045 and I'm fairly certain many of us won't be around for that one. What could possibly eclipse an eclipse? Turning it into a family reunion adventure of course! 20 GRAND SPRING 2024 Continued on next pagehttps://www.facebook.com/GRANDmagazine
