Miller's Mysteries Blog

  Greetings and Welcome!  Welcome to Miller’s Mysteries, where the skies are clear, the breezes gentle, and Southington looks like it dressed up just for us.  The goats are back at the fence line, curious as if they’ve been invited in, while the cats guard their window posts with a mixture of pride and suspicion.  A rabbit hops by, pretending it’s invisible, and I swear even the squirrels seem to smile when the weather’s like this. I’m already plotting a lineup of Calendar House shows, AMC movie nights, and Hidden Valley mini-golf matches where the real mystery is whether I’ll sink a putt on the first try.     By evening, you’ll probably catch me on a patio, raising a fork to celebrate life in this little corner of Connecticut.   • Across my Desk!! We do not throw away perfectly good food in this house. We put it in Tupperware & wait for it to go bad & then we throw it away. Wow, I was outside feeding the cats about 10 minutes ago, and a d...

  Greetings and Welcome!   Greetings, fellow wanderers, from Miller’s Mysteries, where Southington is serving up sunshine like it’s on special. The goats next door press their noses against the fence, clearly jealous of the cats’ window seats, while the cats look back like they’ve won the neighborhood staring contest. Even the chipmunks darting by seem to be rehearsing for some tiny Broadway show.    With weather this fine, my calendar’s filling fast—Calendar House shows, AMC movies with a bucket of popcorn bigger than my head, and a round of mini-golf at Hidden Valley where my putter doubles as comic relief. And when the day winds down, nothing beats patio dining, where the food tastes better simply because you can eat it in the sun.   • Across my Desk!!

  Greetings Friends, Today, I pause to remember Charlie Kirk—not only as a public figure, but as a man whose voice stirred conviction and whose work touched many lives. His journey ended far too soon, yet the spark he lit continues to burn in the hearts of those he inspired. May we honor his memory not with silence, but with courage, faith, and the belief that one life lived boldly can change the course of many. RIP †💕✨ 🇺🇸️ As we carry that thought with us, let’s turn the page together and look ahead—because even in difficult times, stories, ideas, and adventures still give us light.      • Math of the Week 1.

  Hello and welcome to  Miller’s Mysteries Blog , where today’s weather is so perfect even the goats stopped chewing long enough to notice.     Nyx  The cats have taken their posts in the windows, squinting like detectives on stakeout duty, while a few cheeky cardinals drop by to chirp their commentary. The whole scene makes me want to grab a ticket for the next Calendar House show and then catch an AMC flick just to keep the times rolling. Hidden Valley mini-golf is whispering promises of neon golf balls and accidental trick shots, and Southington’s patios are begging for good food and even better company. Around here, every sunny day feels like it’s plotting its own adventure.   • Across my Desk!! “Some people start their day with meditation. Me?

  Welcome to Miller’s Mysteries , where the sunshine is so golden it could practically be bottled and sold as Connecticut’s finest vintage.  The neighbor’s goats are nosy as ever, peeking in like unpaid interns, while our cats stare back with the judgment of aristocrats.   Nyx A hawk might swoop past, squirrels chase each other in high-speed pursuits, and somewhere down the road, someone’s grilling like it’s a national holiday. I’m looking forward to catching a show at Calendar House, an AMC movie with extra butter on the popcorn, and a game of mini-golf that will almost certainly end with me fishing my ball out of the water hazard.  Southington’s patios are calling too, because what’s better than eating outdoors with the faint chance of a goat cameo?   • Across my Desk!! I'm tired of being the only one who cleans, pays all the bills, cooks every day, and does dishes in this house. I am the backbone of this family. I live alone, but still. Not all women wan...
