happiness project monthly breakdown: files/finances (nov)
November is the “Files/Finances” month in my Happiness Project. In 2013, 2014, and 2015, I’ve spent a LOT of time organizing my paper files, my computer files, my iTunes, my email, and more. We’ve written a will. I created health histories for me and the girls. I created academic files for the girls. We’ve gathered

Today is First Morse Code Message Sent. Up early to get the girls going, clean, walk the dog, and work. I ended up working all day, only taking a few short breaks. Camille brought her friends home with her to make cookies; they stayed until 8:30, so I never had the chance to make dinner.

photo friday: carolina colleges
Back in February, Camille and I continued her college search by visiting four schools in North Carolina and South Carolina. The trip was rife with challenges from the start, and the snow and ice didn’t help. Snowed out of this. Snowed out of that. Delays and cancellations. Ice covered roads. Slips and falls. But we

arabia again.
A cool morning. Ahead at work. A holiday in France. Time to not only go to Arabia, but explore a new trail without worrying about how long we’d be out. Phelix and I managed to make wrong turns a few times and lost the trail, but we backtracked and found it again. The problem with
