Happy 13th Birthday Alexander Lee Miller

Today is a very special young man's big day.....he's a teenager. It's hard to believe that this delightful grandbaby is growing up....and doing it very well. He is coming back for another visit in March and we can't wait. Notice that Alex is holding a club with no head on it. It WAS my favorite 3 fairway iron. While we were at the driving range a few weeks ago, he hit a very nice shot and then saw the head fly away with the ball. It was nothing he did. That club was just accustomed to the power of a grandmother and couldn't take all his strength. It is being fixed but not sure if it will ever be the same. Of course, it will always serve as my excuse for poor shots.

The worst is over but I long for the day when we are finally settled. The movers were here from 9am to 11pm !!!! They were slooooooow but seemed meticulous in wrapping and handling everything. The same crew will unpack us on Monday.....hopefully that will go faster.

The house is almost completely empty except for the basement and garage. We've hired someone to clean out what's left and dispose of everything including chemicals, pesticides and electronics. We have a bed, a chair and a TV .....everything we need.

Tomorrow we fly back down and continue with Part 2.
