Marion's Cabin evolved when I realized I had yet to make a miniature scene for my mother-in-law Marion, who is the person solely responsible for my getting involved with the miniature hobby.  Marion always said she wanted to retire to a log cabin, so Vince and I decided her 2006 Mother's Day gift was to make her a "retirement porch"!  Sadly, Marion passed away in March 2010, but something tells me she's sitting in a  rocking chair on the front porch of her log cabin with her dad by her side - about to head out to the lake where they can fish.
