Mom and I were invited to watch the lunar eclipse with Tavis and Diego at Carla and Javi's house. It was completely last minute plan-making, but that is what I love about these four wonderful people. Carla and Javi opened their home, fired up the parilla, and invited family and friend to sit in their … Continue reading Total Eclipse of the Heart
