Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day. Don't forget to hit your knees
today and thank the Lord for a man who stood for what was right, even when it
cost him everything. In
honor of his memory today, everyone should do one kind deed for someone
else. Stand up and do the right
thing. It is one of our freedoms, we
just don’t exercise it often enough, consequently, it gets a little out of
shape. So, how about it, give a little
kindness to say thanks to a great man.
On to new
frontiers: It’s about to happen. The New Double D Roadhouse Katy will have its
Grand Opening January 23, 2015. Those
neon signs that have become an iconic symbol of our little town will soon make
a debut in one of our largest cities. Don’t
you wish you could be there when they flip the switch and turn on the lights
for the first time? A little bit of
Miller in H-town. Who'd ever
thunk it, certainly not this intrepid blogger.
I don’t know about the
rest of you Millerites, but I have a feeling that love is zinging in the air,
and it isn’t because there are red hearts everywhere. Could anything less than love convince our own
man of steel (MOS) himself to consider moving from Miller? Can’t say too much. Don’t want to ruin the surprise. You know who will get cranky if the cat gets
out of the bag too early. Just a guess,
but it is this blogger’s heartfelt opinion, that Miller is fixing to lose
another one of its bachelors. Sorry
ladies, but you know the saying—All the best ones are…! You can fill in the
blanks yourself. No controversies here
in Miller. Speaking of controversies, the bouquet that arrived at the Double D
this morning, quite lovely by the way, came with a card that said—Roses are red,
Your eyes are blue, Day after tomorrow, I’ll see you. Hallmark has nothing to fear, but it gets points for romance,
in this blogger’s humble opinion. Millerites
have gotten mighty fond of those Monday flowers. Reckon the crowd at the Double
D is going to miss seeing them now that certain folks no longer have to abide
by the “friends only” clause of their relationship.
Girl next door #3 returned from H-Town recently and reports that the new
roadhouse is every bit as wonderful as the old one. High praise from the former reality star.
Meanwhile, could we get
a little snow down here? It’s winter! They
had fourteen inches in the Detroit area last week, and the forecasters are
calling for more snow this week. Sheesh!
Not one snowflake fell in Miller.
Our kids like to build snowmen too, so don’t hog up all the snow, leave us a
few flakes, you crazy northerners. Still, you
less than sane Texans, you should remember to bundle up, because despite the
really pretty weather today, it is winter and when the sun goes down, it gets
purdee cold. ‘Nuff said.
One final
word. Congratulations to Randy
Rollins, a seventh grader at the MC Middle School. His computer sketch of Eaton and Eaton
Insurance and Investments was the winner of the Chamber of Commerce's annual
The Best of Miller, Texas Art Contest.
Randy is the son of Betty Truman and Samuel Rollins.

time,
