The BeanQueen's Ramblings: managing on Monday
http://rosevaleblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/managing-on-monday_20.html
This is the story of our life at "Rosevale on the Palouse Prairie" in eastern Washington State, and my love affair with all things fiber/fabric. 'BeanQueen' you might ask, well in my previous life I was the curater of the Phaseolus Germplasm Collection (beans native to the western hemisphere) in the United States. My lovely #2 sister gifted me with my 'nom autre'. Monday, July 20, 2015. Our camping trip was short, but so nice. We plan to go again for the weekend in 2 weeks. Geet the garage monster. View ...

Miller's Last Resort: February 2015
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Saturday, February 21, 2015. The sun is shining now, but this morning it snowed! It's a week until March, but I think weather-wise, it's already here. So what have I been up to? Again, making one in silver and the other in light purple. I love that pattern! I also finished a pair of socks. Thursday, February 19, 2015. The rest of the news is that it's bad news. A stage 4 malignant tumor. This is a twenty-eight-year-old mama of a little ...A ret...

Miller's Last Resort: November 2014
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Monday, November 17, 2014. I started this post the other day, but got interrupted, so I'll try again. In my sophomore year, my family began to ski. I was not a speedy learner, but after weeks and years of practice, I did become a fairly good intermediate skier, good enough to enjoy winter weekends throughout high school and college. And even into married life. Our campus was know for its hills. I finally decided I'd have to avail myself of this...

Miller's Last Resort: A Memorable Breakfast
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-memorable-breakfast.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. As mentioned in a recent post, breakfast is one of my favorite meals to cook. Yesterday was Tuesday, Choose Day, and since I don't exercise that day (I'm a MWF girl), I decided it was time for eggs Benedict. Mmmm. How can I go wrong with a delicious meal and happy memories? July 9, 2015 at 2:51 PM. Growing up, I remember poached eggs on toast. And Mother served soft-boiled eggs in egg cups. (I have a lot of egg ...A ret...

Miller's Last Resort: Another Tiny Book Review
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2015/06/another-tiny-book-review.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Another Tiny Book Review. One of my favorite books is The Long Winter. By Laura Ingalls Wilder. I have my own copy, a gift from Matt and Ann for Christmas many years ago. Ann had the whole series growing up and I used to read through them every few years. I also have a book of essays Mrs. Wilder wrote in the early part of the last century and I enjoy reading them. For a good (if long! Labels: books. stuff. Thanks for t...

Miller's Last Resort: May 2015
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Apparently I've been in another non-wordy mood, but I'm going to attempt to do a little catching up. It's been a family month as we've attended several events featuring family members. Our littlest one, Daniel, graduated from his first year of preschool May 13 and we were entertained by a musical about the solar system. Such a roomful of cuties! And here's our little man:. Last weekend was spent attending the wedding of Br...

Miller's Last Resort: Saturday...and the End of May
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2014/05/saturdayand-end-of-may.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Saturday, May 31, 2014. Saturday.and the End of May. I am amazed to think that tomorrow is the first of June. Summer is arriving and it feels good. My sweetie is hard at work on the front landscaping so I'm planning to reward him with a big ol' homemade pizza for supper. He said it sounded wonderful, bless his heart. The border on this runner is composed of, are you ready? One hundred fifty-six pieces. Yup, 156 pieces! May 31, 2014 at 9:26 PM.

Miller's Last Resort: Summertime, and the Livin' Is . . . Busy!
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2015/07/summertime-and-livin-is-busy.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Summertime, and the Livin' Is . . . Busy! Today a friend from college days and her husband were in town and we thoroughly enjoyed a leisurely lunch with them a local restaurant. Lois and I lived in the same dorm forty-five (! Here's a picture of the gaping hole that's in our bath right now:. Meanwhile, the flower pots on our deck are in bloom and I just love the wonderfully bright flowers. We bought the plants at Cos...

Miller's Last Resort: Quilting Ponderings
http://millerslastresort.blogspot.com/2015/07/quilting-ponderings.html
A few muttered meanderings from our little spot in the west. Saturday, July 25, 2015. And now, here I am. Retired. With time and a roomful of sewing machines including a quilting machine. How blessed I am! Whatever would those great-grandmothers have thought of such a room as mine? I think they would have marveled and wanted to try everything! And the quilting machine? Here's to you, Little Mama (short and stout) and Big Mama (tall and spare)! July 26, 2015 at 2:35 PM. An inspiring post - thanks! There I...
