adventures in Brooklyn, vol. 9

adventures in Brooklyn, vol. 9

Summer has arrived in earnest here, and with it, the antiquated air conditioner which comes with my furnished apartment.  Fortunately, it has not been super-hot (yet) with the exception of one or two days, so I have not (yet) had to use the air conditioner on a regular basis.  I’m grateful for this, as it…

Modern technology does have its down sides (see Rob Bell’s recent series: A Brief Guide to the Undernet: Parts One, Two, and Three), but one of its up sides allowed for one of my dearest friends and I to spend an evening this weekend chatting via FaceTime while we cooked our respective dinners in two different…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
