Today I decided I needed to find out where the heck Granny Miller has been. I am so sad to read the website bit the dust :( Katherine is such an amazing woman with so much knowledge and I've been privileged to learn so much from her over the years. She's always been so generous with her knowledge and time. The GOP nomination season has kept her in the forefront of my mind. But she's always in my thoughts when I can, garden, or do anything around here. What a blessing she has been to me. Thank you both for all you share and do!basicliving@backtobasicliving.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782631124134813311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985010373250930438.post-15905123558393499242011-11-27T09:30:19.718-05:002011-11-27T09:30:19.718-05:00I bought a house with the same cook stove and if i...I bought a house with the same cook stove and if it weren't for this website I'm not sure I would have ever learned to use it properly.

So sorry to hear that it "died". I really wish that I would have saved the information, especially the recipes. Would anyone be willing to share any they have saved? I was fairly new to the sight, discovered it on a cold and snowy day. I made the broccoli soup and yeast rolls that very day. Yummy. I appreciate all of the work that went into the blog and will be forever grateful for the information I was able to learn. You have no idea how much you will be missed.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493057364250418150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985010373250930438.post-12640609533474939482011-09-27T13:34:55.490-04:002011-09-27T13:34:55.490-04:00Howdy anonymous,

I think you need to make this a matter of prayer at your house, because I believe that the information you are offering is worth more than gold right now. Yesterday, in our local newspaper, there was a feature article about how a small grocery store that burned down and had to rebuild, is looking to hire a HANDFUL of people to help work at the new store. Most of the people who worked there before the fire are going to come back, but not all. Over 450 people showed up for a chance to have a job interview!! 450!!!! At a grocery store, for a minimum wage job!!!!! And this is in an area in Central Illinois that should have a million jobs available! Times are hard, and the clouds on our financial horizon are darkening. Please tell Katherine that she is not on the scene right now by accident; God may very well be using her to meet the needs of many, many people around her, whose lives she is touching in ways she will never fully know. Tell her to read the story of Esther again in the Old Testament.....perhaps God has your Katerine on the scene right now "for such a time as this". PLEASE start the website again!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985010373250930438.post-57528515587198315052011-09-10T20:16:15.474-04:002011-09-10T20:16:15.474-04:00Hi.

I know the data for the website was lost, but it was such a shame to not have those videos to refer to anymore; seemed odd to close the account since the videos were being hosted by youtube (not like they were any work to maintain). You could have set them to make leaving comments unavailable. Such a shame they're gone.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985010373250930438.post-28749114298239087922011-09-09T13:26:15.560-04:002011-09-09T13:26:15.560-04:00Will you still be offering Early Butler corn seed ...Will you still be offering Early Butler corn seed this year?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985010373250930438.post-13801841422884454332011-09-09T08:19:21.337-04:002011-09-09T08:19:21.337-04:00This is indeed a distressing discovery.

The comments posted here are a witness to that. That said, let me add my many thanks for you sharing all of your incredible knowledge with so many.

Like so many intangibles, it can be gone in an instant. Ironic that the woman who is prepared to be self sufficient till Kingdom comes, doesn't have her wisdom in publishable form.
