On My Frame & Basketball

A peak at my latest mat...my blue/brown fascination continues...this will be an offering for the April update at The 1800 House. While hooking today I had the chance to watch the semi-final game! Washburn Won!!!
They will move on to play in the championship game Saturday night! Nick doesn't play...but he and all his friends were there...that's him in the upper right corner! Next weekend is his big game...The Millerbots will compete in the First Robotics North Star Regional. They won it last year!
Busy and exciting times!
So why do the Millers have bakers hats?
"The school has been heavily influenced by Minneapolis' milling empire. The school's newspaper, The Grist, involves milling terminology, the school's colors, blue and orange, were those of Gold Medal Flour, a company partly run by the Washburn family and a predecessor to General Mills and the athletic teams' nickname are the "Millers"."
GO MILLERS!!!

  5. I love the team name Millers and the history behind it! It took me awhile to catch on when you mentioned the baker's hats. Go Millers!
