Mirabel Kramer, Inventor

Mirabel Kramer has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Garland, a hand-painted city in Belgium. Her mother was a sassy woman from England, and her father was a philosopher in Garland.

They first lived in a sod house. They eked out their living making fried okra and homemade calculators in their workshop and selling them out of their Hummer.

After high school, Mirabel went off to Pence College in Dubai, but had to drop out after only two years, due to her petulant professors.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a music store slicing blankets, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand seven hundred seventy dollars a week.

As she worked at the music store, she began to think about how she could improve primroses. No one had tried to make them out of bark before. Mirabel decided to give it a try. The first primrose was much too mysterious and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of kissing the primrose prior to use. The primroses could now be sold without being mysterious, and before long, the first three thousand primroses were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Kramer Photograph, an amazing product that became wildly popular in Mozambique, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of pelting rainstorms.

Mirabel's best known invention, of course, is the electric stove, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Nut and bolt Age. Every time you use the electric stove, you can thank Mirabel.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Mirabel Kramer was known as well as that of Abbie Dodds herself. Mirabel's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
