A few people have asked me for information about our Hawaii vacations in 2003 and 2006, so even though this information is old, I decided to post it here so it’s easily accessible. I wrote a “travel journal” in 2003, but in 2006 I decided to (be lazy and) let the photos speak for themselves. [...]
Friday: The trip to California & our timeshare condo in Ventura (Note to Emily – Don’t plan a departure for immediately after school ever again!) The preparation and pickup of the boys from school were really rushed, but we did remember everything that we had intended to pack (except something to keep my hair [...]
A Review of College Search Websites (I pulled this information together for the Post Grad Center page on the Fairview High School website, and thought I’d share it here also.) CollegeBoard.com is the de facto standard when it comes to researching colleges. They offer a detailed “interview” that can help students narrow down a list [...]

I will correct the few errors that occurred in the article, using bold text. Boulder Valley students advance to world robotics competition Nederland, Fairview teams heading to [...]
You might like to look at my Picasaweb album as you read my journal, so you can have a picture in your mind as you read. (I embedded a few images into this blog entry, but even without images it’s too long!) http://picasaweb.google.com/emilyg28/December2009SanibelIslandFlorida# My Google map of Sanibel Island is here: http://tinyurl.com/y8b92et Saturday: Nighttime Shelling [...]
I volunteer at my sons’ local high school, in the college planning office. I helped update the list of recommended scholarship search sites and decided to post my results here as well as on the school’s site. To try to make my results realistic, I created two profiles – a male named Dave Fritz and [...]
