November 15--Always a Miller

It is true that those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly that we are not the same afterwards, even unto our names.  --Yann Martel

    Thirty-eight years ago, it was not a common practice, but I kept my maiden name when I married. I saw no good reason to suddenly become a "Hardin" when I had been a "Miller" all my life. Before we married, my husband said, "If you won't change your name, I won't marry you." I replied. "OK." Obviously he relented. Though I did not change my name, meeting my husband, getting married and having a family were all big change-instigators! 
    Woohoo!! Today I hit the road headed for Ohio. My overnight stop is with my in-laws in Wentzville, Missouri. 
    Stay tuned,
        Leta
