Can you believe this heat? The thermometer hit 95°
yesterday. That just doesn't seem right. Even down here in Texas, we raise an
eyebrow when it hits 95° in April. But heat or no heat, this blog isn't
about the weather — what would be the point of that? With this blog, we
(that would be the royal we) will be capturing a few bits and pieces of Miller,
Texas for Millerites to ooh and aah over. The idea hit like lightning out of
the blue. Crack! The radio was belting out an oldie but a goodie, Back
in the Saddle. Hey, no judging. BITS is a classic. Anyway, it triggered a
thought landslide about how sometimes the hardest thing in life is to give
something another try once you've gotten hurt the first time. Ha — and
that right there is about as deep as this blogger gets. So, for reals,
what can you expect in these posts? This intrepid blogger will be dishing up
whatever catches the attention of Millerites — some gossip, some community
color, and sure, why not, a little common-sense advice along the way.
With that in mind, all of Miller is abuzz, and
there is a certain man about Miller who might want to listen up. Let's
call him Farm Boy (FB). Miller is about to welcome home one of
its prodigal daughters. This feisty little lady has been hanging out in
the Big Apple for a few years. Let's call her Snow Bird (SB). According to the
'rents, SB is due to arrive today. This blogger, for one, is hoping that
old wounds have healed and hearts are ready for a second chance. It will
be more than interesting to see if SB's return inspires FB to get back in the
saddle and give romance another try. (That there would be a clever tie-in to
the song, just in case you didn't catch it.) No doubt, Millerites will be
lining up to watch the fireworks. Yippie-Ki-Yay! Things are 'bout to get
interesting around these parts.
Meanwhile, life is good here in our little neck of the
Piney Woods. Porches are full, supper tables are loud, and the Sunday potluck
at the Miller Community Church cleaned out Chef M's famous peach cobbler in under ten minutes
flat. Miller takes care of its own — and if this blogger knows anything, it's
that one of our own is about to need a little extra looking-after. ‘Nuff said.
