The Solar Eclipse of April 8th, 2024

Getting to see the partial solar eclipse at its peak at 3:03 pm from the post office in Jacksonville, Florida.

The beautiful blooming jasmine in my parent’s backyard.

Kobi turning ten years old. Always curious to see what I’m working on and not so patiently waiting for attention.

The Central Florida Scottish Highland Games 2024

Another lovely day at the annual Scottish Highland Games.

 Emilio practicing his axe throwing.

Baby Shaylei all bundled up.

Myself, Judi, and Shaylei.

Myself with Judi, her husband Tico, Emilio, and Shaylei.

Pleasantly surprised to run into Malik, someone I know through the SCA with an incredible sense of humor.

Bennet and Joe, who I also know through the SCA, doing re-enactments. I finally got to prove to Emilio that my sword fighting friends are real.

Watching the Caber Toss. 

Ending the day with an adorable Highland cow. 

Cozy Afternoon Nap

Glitzy

The holidays came with some fun opportunities to sparkle for the swing dances.

I wore some royal blue for the Christmas dance.

Myself with Jacky and Heather. We know how to light up the room!

An incredible dress I found for $40 at Ross! It needed to be hemmed but it was perfect for the Roaring 20’s dance in January.

The dress after it was hemmed and with all the accessories.

I also got to wear my grandmother’s bracelet. It is costume jewelry and it’s missing a few stones, but I have always loved it. It was the first time I ever wore it out.
