Farewell, Guinevere

Farewell, Guinevere

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a musical production of Camelot.  From that moment on, I was absolutely hooked.  I read every King Arthur book I could get my hands on.  (The Once and Future King is still one of my all-time favorites).  I memorized all of the songs from the musical, and wished…

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.
