DELPHOS — Oh my goodness, how can school have started already? It was just Memorial Day, and we were waiting for the pool to officially open! College and high school football has started now, and the leaves, corn and soybeans have started to turn. I guess that means fall and winter are near. For me, I’m going to make the most of these hot days and enjoy a few more dips in my pool.
