We're Back.....

Due to unprecedented popular demand, phone calls in the night and extreme withdrawal symptoms by most of you, The Miller Blog has returned. But where's the "Roadblock" you might ask.? We opted to go to a different format in order not to be limited by sharing only travels. Now all of you get to peek in on our daily life, from the thrilling(??) to the mundane.

Why blog? Why put ourselves out there for all to see.? Why show how really boring we are? Why reveal our gray hair , our wrinkles and our bulging midlines? After returning from our travels last year, the "Moving Roadblock" journals afforded us a detailed look at our daily life, complete with pictures. We found it to be a good memory jogger of places and people and happenings. I thought about keeping an online journal, unpublished, but then realized how truly selfish that was. I just knew that ALL of you wanted that voyeuristic view of Paul and Sue as we really are.

This is what a forecast of " chance of flurries" looks like. We ended up with over 7" of the pretty white stuff. It was perfect for snowmen and little boys. I tried to upload pictures of Andy and Mason in the snow and a crooked snowman but couldn't get it off of Jon's Flickr page . Blogger has improved since last year and is much more user friendly but I still have a fairly long learning curve to become proficient.

Thanksgiving this year was celebrated on the 21st, combined with Mason's 2nd birthday so that Jon could join us before flying the friendly Continental skies. Then on the actual Thanksgiving day, we celebrated again with those tasty leftovers in whatever form we each preferred. I feel like we've been eating/cooking for two days. Mason enjoyed all his carefully chosen birthday gifts and even shared with Andy.

We have so much to be Thankful for and we are truly grateful for our wonderful family.

Addendum: Blogger has a few quirky features and one is that the date of the blog is when you actually started it and not when it was actually published. I have read complaints about this but no solutions......so this blog took two days of frustration and is actually being published on Friday, Nov. 23rd.
