Birthday Roses
May 11, 2010 by Yayoe in Dorothy Miller
Here's a picture of Dorothy, who turned 92 on May 5th. She's back doing cross word puzzles, playing bridge, and thriving at her new facility in Rochester NY. She also sounded wonderful on the phone...like the old Dorothy we know and love!

Lohring's Visit to Rochester
January 18, 2010 by Danica in Dorothy Miller
It's been great having Lohring here this weekend. Just like I did with Sadie, I co-opted him to help me setting up my new studio. Just like Sadie, he was a HUGE help!! Photo: Lohring reaching for one thing or another – lulu paste (old family recipe to be posted later) or drill site on the studio wall.

December 14, 2008 by Dorothy in Dorothy Miller
I thought I'd add a few photos from Thanksgiving in Meadville that Lohring missed. Some portraits that include Lohring, a photo of the lovely flowers he bought for our Thanksgiving table, and a picture of Dorothy sitting in the conservatory of the Baldwin Reynolds House (Meadville's one historical landmark house) where she and I went after Lohring left to see the 'Trees of Christmas'.

May 07, 2008 by Danica in Dorothy Miller
Dorothy is 90! Quite the milestone! We had a small gathering of friends on Monday night to celebrate with cake and champagne. It's been a festive week here in Rochester - because of Dorothy's significant birthday for sure! We made it to the Rochester International Film Festival a couple of nights and the Lilac Festival and shopped 'til we dropped one day. Who could ask for more?!

May 09, 2007 by Danica in Dorothy Miller
I spent last weekend in Meadville helping Dorothy celebrate her 89th birthday. If she would only act her age, the rest of us might be a bit more reverant! She's as busy and involved as ever and lucky for me most of her friends are too. I planned a birthday dinner and brought all the ingredients, but forgot that there were plans for practically every meal every day I was there. First a luncheon at the Iroquois club on Friday and then a Derby party and birthday dinner on Saturday. We squeezed in my birthday fruit tarts for Saturday lunch and the stuffed pork loin at noon on Sunday before I hit the road. A lovely weekend weather-wise and great way to start to the 90th year!

October 30, 2006 by Danica in Dorothy Miller
Greetings from Meadville! Happy Halloween and kandy korn daze to all!
Checking in briefly in order to refresh Dorothy's memory about how to post in the web site. I'm visiting Meadville on my way to and from Pittsburgh where I linked up after 30+ years with several good friends and former classmates from my Carnegie Mellon theatre program days. What a hoot! non-stop reminiscing for 2 days!
Things are fine in Meadville. Mother is busy as usual with friends, clubs and of course has her Christmas cards already addressed!
The Rochester group (me, Ben, Andy) are also doing well. Just checked the Bard web site in hopes of finding out about Ben's varsity cross country meet on Sat. They had their conference championships and it seems came in second place! Don't know if that means Ben will be heading to Williamstown next week for another round of championships or not. If he does, I'll be sure to let Sadie know.
Love to all -
Danica & Grandma Dorothy

Sorry I haven't posted for so long
July 11, 2004 by Dorothy in Dorothy Miller
Sorry I haven't posted for so long. I enjoy reading everything you all post every week.
I went to Rochester for a few days last week. Ben and his piano teacher have composed a two piano number - worked on it since December. They had a concert in Eastman School of Music Hall - two concert grand Steinways on stage and Ben played one of them! I really had to go hear it, and it was wonderful. Ben is really good a improvising and harmonising. He loves this teacher.
Ben and a friend left yesterday for Colorado to mountain climb. They will do two peaks up to 14,000 ft. I worry a bit, but the ranger is looking out for them, and there will be alot of people there. They will stay in a hostel at first and then campt on the trail.
That is about all the news for now. I will be home the rest of the summer - taking out a couple days for more surgery on my face. Had 5 biopsied and, of course, all basal cells.

We have had a great Christmas here in Rochester
December 29, 2003 by Dorothy in Dorothy Miller
 We have had a great Christmas here in Rochester. Everyone got lots of presents in spite of the fact that Danica had said it would be scaled down this year with everyone out of work.
Too much food as usual but very good – lots of cookies and fruitcake we had made earlier.
I seemed to have gone to more open houses this year than ever. Everyone at Wesbury has been wonderful to me and I am having an afternoon tea and snacks for some of them on Friday. Our old New Years Eve crowd will go to the Country Club for lunch! No more roaring around all night in our old age. Jed's Mom and Sam have arrived in my neighborhood. I don't know how they will like it after being so long in Arizona. We have had very warm and clear weather. Glad you got to see some snow.
Happy New Year. Love, Dorothy

February 26, 2003 by Dorothy in Dorothy Miller
My sister and I just returned from a lovely trip to Barbados.We had an efficiency where we could have breakfast and lunch if we chose. Great view of two of three pools and the ocean from our balcony. It was 85 degrees - really too hot for Caroline who is used to the Northwest. Had several trips around the island, lovely flower gardens, good food, some interesting dancers, etc.
I'm now getting ready to go to Florida to visit my friends there. I get blamed for the terrible winter here as it is the first in l8 years that I have spent in PA.

January 21, 2003 by Dorothy in Dorothy Miller
I had Christmas in Rochester with Danica and family. It was fun. Haven't heard whether you all liked the things I sent - maybe not. We are having alot of cold and snow - I knew this would happen when I'm here most of the winter. I had a fall in my garage last week - spent time in X-ray and Dr. No fracture, but a hematoma. Also am in process of getting two teeth crowned. I hope that is the end of my disintigrating! Getting ready to go to Barbados in Feb for 10 days - with my sister.
