Rowan Massie Miller

Rowan Massie Miller, my great-great-niece, was born Aug. 25, 2007. Her mother, my great-niece Jennifer Lynn Dale Miller, and her father, Nathan Miller, shared this picture with me last summer. She seems to share a trait with other children in the family's past -- a love of digging in the sand. I recall many hours of digging holes with my sister Dianne. We were convinced that if we dug deep enough, we'd get to China. Actually, if such a thing were possible, we'd probably have ended up somewhere in the Marianas Trench.
