I placed it flat side down on a rack on top of a cookie pan and covered with Reynolds Wrap and cooked it at 325 for approximately 12-15 minutes per pound and until it reaches 140 (watch closely).

Remove from the heat, add the flour in one stroke, and mix well with a wooden spoon. Then place back over the heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 15 to 20 seconds, until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan. Transfer the dough to a food processor and let cool for 10 minutes.</span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Crack the eggs into a small bowl and mix them well with a fork. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg for use as a glaze. Pour the remaining eggs into the processor bowl and process for 20 to 30 seconds, until the eggs are well incorporated and the dough is smooth.</span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Line a cookie sheet with a nonstick baking mat, or use a nonstick cookie sheet. Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch plain tip. Pipe a ring with an outside circumference of 8 inches on the cookie sheet. Pipe another circle of dough inside and another on top of the rings until you have used all the dough and have a circle that is 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches high with a hole in the center that measures about 5 inches across. Do not start and end the dough circles in the same spot, since this can cause the pastry to open at the seam during baking.</span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Brush the dough with the reserved tablespoon of egg. Using a fork, mark the surface and sides of the dough, running the tines of the fork gently around the circle to create a cross-hatch effect. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until browned. (If the pastry begins to brown excessively, cover it loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.) Turn the oven off and let the pastry remain in the oven for 30 minutes with the door partially open to evaporate some of the moisture. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before removing from the cookie sheet.</span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span class="single_recipe_text" style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 7px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">THE CHOCOLATE CREAM</span></div></span><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, combine the yolks and sugar in a bowl, mixing them with a whisk for about 30 seconds. Add the 1 1/2 tablespoons flour and mix it in with the whisk. Pour the boiling milk in on top of the egg yolk mixture and mix it in well with a whisk. Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil, mixing constantly with the whisk. Boil for about 10 seconds, then remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and is incorporated into the pastry cream. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let cool, then refrigerate until chilled.</span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span class="single_recipe_text" style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 7px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">THE GARNISH</span></div></span><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whip the cream, rum, and sugar in a bowl until stiff.

Using a spoon, spread the chocolate cream in the bottom of the pastry round, pressing it gently into the cavities of the pastry. Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag that is fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip, and pipe the cream on top of the chocolate cream. It should come at least 1 inch above the rim of the cake.</span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cut the pastry lid into 8 to 10 equal pieces, and reassemble them in order on top of the pastry to make it easy to cut into portions. Sprinkle with the confectioners’ sugar. (The pastry can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated.) At serving time, using the separations on the lid as guides, cut through the bottom half of the pastry, and arrange on individual dessert plates.</span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="instruction" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Copyright © 2011 by Jacques Pépin.

</span><span style="font-size: large;">I contacted Chewy, a website for pets, to cancel my account as I wouldn't be buying anything for dogs again and it was to difficult seeing emails in my in-box about Chewy. A while later, I received a box from from Chewy. I wondered what would be inside and really didn't want to look...but I did. I have paintings of ALL of my PuppyKids, including one that had passed away!

That's right. Unless you count bl</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ogging, checking my email, visiting internet friends, shopping and playing games on-line exercising...like this little cartoon [<b><i>by the way, click on the photo to enlarge it</i></b>] I found...LOL!! Then, I was thrust into doing everything around the house - inside and out - myself. That was ALOT to someone not getting much physical exercise...believe you me!! I've lost 65# and kept it off...and feel pretty darn good. Then in February, during a particularly windy night [gusts up to 65mph] blew down </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.4px;">my garden wall and the REAL work and exercise began. It will continue on for</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.4px;">quite a while </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">longer. There is alot more to do. I had one woman stop by my house, when she saw me out and asked what I was doing - what happened to my hydrangeas and when I told her...she asked "Don't you have a husband to do all of that? I just laughed and said, "NO!" and turned and walked back to the wall and got back to work!</span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are 3 photos from the work I did on Saturday - April 16th. Since then, I've either been busy with other things [Grooming & Bathing all 3 Pups], [taking things to Goodwill] or [cooking some good meals]. Oh...trying to stay out of the sun isn't easy either - medication I take says avoid sunlight, so on warm days that are sunny, I can't work out there - cool and sunny days are GREAT - can wear a long sleeve shirt and my big hat! Now it's time to run between raindrops...with alot of rain forecast for my area. So, who knows when I'll post more photos of the wall. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcAR7sewucxEGPkCCxF0lI_8LSOrtYbWI23pn-aiAs7CJhoianXQ3RDS7SB8wB2KDtDgyXphXcdbIOposlZtw5GEH0Q31IKsZ8UyH66d0HzAOBii_OKEcNnd0n8BYw0eq2kSbr-6qD0Q/s1600/1-DSCF2169.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcAR7sewucxEGPkCCxF0lI_8LSOrtYbWI23pn-aiAs7CJhoianXQ3RDS7SB8wB2KDtDgyXphXcdbIOposlZtw5GEH0Q31IKsZ8UyH66d0HzAOBii_OKEcNnd0n8BYw0eq2kSbr-6qD0Q/s640/1-DSCF2169.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxlpBTualuIdah7QU3bdDpzxOlVukcLBL8ioSDbBjn_CgSBBh-bJgJDHR8nFll1hIkvkEhQWPaKW6SExdg2eabQkrGMLLneGnPEUwShgsuL2sV1arpxEHyd3jqxch4v6zo47DLJ76fQ/s1600/2-DSCF2170.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxlpBTualuIdah7QU3bdDpzxOlVukcLBL8ioSDbBjn_CgSBBh-bJgJDHR8nFll1hIkvkEhQWPaKW6SExdg2eabQkrGMLLneGnPEUwShgsuL2sV1arpxEHyd3jqxch4v6zo47DLJ76fQ/s640/2-DSCF2170.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTgRJjz6aWrntte2JJq88a_QKaWmY-pnD58mREwp6LTul2g_pomCYT4_WbpELfu3UQuA3FOSFBNI3lV23fwjAGJve0ncMlx8CYHRII0YcdtVgorAuIKIxebgYqwG9uqBZvXeHOeO-DxA/s1600/3-DSCF2171.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTgRJjz6aWrntte2JJq88a_QKaWmY-pnD58mREwp6LTul2g_pomCYT4_WbpELfu3UQuA3FOSFBNI3lV23fwjAGJve0ncMlx8CYHRII0YcdtVgorAuIKIxebgYqwG9uqBZvXeHOeO-DxA/s640/3-DSCF2171.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Jan Hermannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388252906826385107noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106219306121198156.post-24795786749042728482023-09-25T10:20:00.009-04:002023-09-25T10:41:26.422-04:00Apple Strudel<p style="text-align: center;"> PICTURE COMING SOON!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Apple Strudel</b> </p><p style="text-align: center;">Recipe from Pilgrim Lutheran Church Cookbook 1969</p><p style="text-align: center;">3c flour</p><p style="text-align: center;">1/2t salt</p><p style="text-align: center;">1 1/8c shortening</p><p style="text-align: center;">3 egg yolks</p><p style="text-align: center;">10-11T cold water</p><p style="text-align: center;">1c sugar</p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1T flour</p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1/2t cinnamon </p><p style="text-align: center;">Apple slices (4-5 granny smith apples)</p><p style="text-align: center;">Mix flour, salt and shortening.

Well, maybe I don't love it in it's natural state...but...well, wait a minute, I want to tell you all about Syroco first. <span style="font-family: inherit;">The Syracuse Ornamental Company, known as Syroco, was an American manufacturing company based in Syracuse, New York. They were best known for their molded wood-pulp products that resembled hand-carving. </span>Founded in <br /><a name="more"></a> Syracuse, New York in 1890 by immigrant Adolph Holstein, the Syracuse Ornamental Company (Syroco) specialized in decorative wood carving, especially for the local residential market. Products included fireplace mantelpieces and other types of interior decoration popular in late Victorian homes.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSOAH02wUP2poEnm0TbTw_kaqia4qnk05o4XK3Nl6fzXa0MmCNIlmlnyOaOTbwDJ6lFonNcevN4U57nh4alJZ-ysomHEpzQ8v673sCBVbjQPwiddQ2sZmaL3UWUyu4KPw5aWiGonI/s1600/2825elh_27.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="1038" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSOAH02wUP2poEnm0TbTw_kaqia4qnk05o4XK3Nl6fzXa0MmCNIlmlnyOaOTbwDJ6lFonNcevN4U57nh4alJZ-ysomHEpzQ8v673sCBVbjQPwiddQ2sZmaL3UWUyu4KPw5aWiGonI/w692-h1038/2825elh_27.jpeg" width="692" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To meet increasing market demand and sales opportunities Holstein developed a material looked and felt like wood but that which could be shaped, allowing multiple pieces to be produced through a molding process. The new product, which combined wood pulp brought from the Adirondacks with flour as a binder and other materials to give it strength, was extruded and then cut to fit compression molds, which had were made from original carvings in real wood.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The process favored shallow molds with little undercutting, and this served well for the creation of a wide variety of "carved" relief work to be applied to different sorts of flat surfaces such as walls, furniture and caskets. Production of this new molded product, known as SyrocoWood, was the mainstay of the company's production through the 1940s. The finished material could be smoothed and varnished to look like wood, or it could be painted. Sales catalogues from the early 1900s through the 1920s offer hundreds of varieties of moldings, capitals, brackets, volutes, and reliefs of vases, garlands, cartouches, scrollwork, and other details in a variety of styles.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSQAKNfSP84eOeiGePmY8qSUIwlN-5GOjvx2H7D9oQrQ7n3t5IR4KC7mgsQqbBBkXeFcGFd-P4C9K20sPVrIGtOVzSkliYdhsV1toQQsATydNqWvpu2MhZv3vamFx0XmNXXNPwOs/s1600/001SyrocoWallPlaquesSetOfTwoFlowerBasketandHornOfPlentyDesgin.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="649" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSQAKNfSP84eOeiGePmY8qSUIwlN-5GOjvx2H7D9oQrQ7n3t5IR4KC7mgsQqbBBkXeFcGFd-P4C9K20sPVrIGtOVzSkliYdhsV1toQQsATydNqWvpu2MhZv3vamFx0XmNXXNPwOs/w632-h649/001SyrocoWallPlaquesSetOfTwoFlowerBasketandHornOfPlentyDesgin.JPG" width="632" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Syroco operated from a large factory complex on 581 South Clinton Street in Syracuse acquired from Smith Corona Typewriter Company. The company remained in the hands of the Holstein family for three generations, with some of Adolph's children and grandchildren taking over management and sales positions. At its peak, about 400 workers were employed at the plant.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">By the 1930s the company had also developed an extensive line of gift and novelty items made of "SyrocoWood" and also "Woodite," a combination of wood flour and polymer. In the 1960s the company began to use injection molding for some of its products, but did not entirely abandon its old processes.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIuwqZWNk2YXHBvRaY668cAGmU53-QGDh6KNwe1Ugv8XdaRn0jFFoPL9H0ipNxuJkg36FVxfmjEBEqtPNiC7UQ86HGEkKRlQWvL0ZVD74rZDCpIKLF4XIIYKQ233ht5Z5JeWkTkGA/s1600/w12827.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIuwqZWNk2YXHBvRaY668cAGmU53-QGDh6KNwe1Ugv8XdaRn0jFFoPL9H0ipNxuJkg36FVxfmjEBEqtPNiC7UQ86HGEkKRlQWvL0ZVD74rZDCpIKLF4XIIYKQ233ht5Z5JeWkTkGA/w525-h700/w12827.jpg" width="525" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Syroco added more lines of injection molded plastics when a new plant was opened in nearby Baldwinsville in 1963 which was entirely geared to plastics production, especially PVCs and polystyrene. The company began to use plastic in new "modern" designs and new forms for clocks, mirrors, tables and a range of household items. In 1968-1969 the company launched its "Lady Syroco" home products. Beginning in 1986 Syroco produced a popular line of lawn furniture. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">In 1965 the company was bought by Rexall Drug and Chemical Company (which soon changed its name to Dart Industries). Dart owned Tupperware, from which Syroco gained more knowledge of injection molding. Syroco was purchased by the Syratech Corporation of Boston in 1986 which expanded its patio furniture production. In 1995 Syratech sold Syroco to Marley PLC of Sevenoaks, England, and in 2004 Syroco was purchased by Vassallo Industries of Puerto Rico which closed the plant in 2007. In April 2010 Tessy Plastics purchased the 270,000 square foot Syroco plant to be used for storage and distribution.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">********************</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 25pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now...on to my Before & After Project</span></div><center></center>Here is a set of Wall Decorations made of Syroco that I bought at an estate sale.</center><center><br /></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih23t-wha4EF1PE6udjEAlRyQfZbVjJmxXvNDY3o0XCAupzifuxLQtkxHVBQjAeY3zDwcQdBrZV8dEkB2mRI2gUwuqM4Z7xRC1vc7CE4xOGKStNhCUjmoLrP0uEknntB3h-LxjoRk/s1600/PAIR+B4+PAINT+AND+RUB+AND+BUFF.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="941" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih23t-wha4EF1PE6udjEAlRyQfZbVjJmxXvNDY3o0XCAupzifuxLQtkxHVBQjAeY3zDwcQdBrZV8dEkB2mRI2gUwuqM4Z7xRC1vc7CE4xOGKStNhCUjmoLrP0uEknntB3h-LxjoRk/w706-h941/PAIR+B4+PAINT+AND+RUB+AND+BUFF.JPG" width="706" /></a></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the urn shaped holder on the shelf...and I love the scroll work and all of the pretty flowers.

Rub on and buff to a beautiful luster. For hard-to-reach areas, thin with turpentine and apply with a brush. Colors can be blended. Each tube contains 1/2 oz (15 ml), enough to cover up to 20 square feet.

And the little handle really fits the hand quite nicely.<br /><br />Have you been to many Tea Parties?<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgucCpf5-E4ck0xvWUb0tIDw9bjKfx6LUDDwMAY-DqwLOum8jbcRBnHmBfZK0OY2NKZ-G6NDUpVZwIBPdWmWScoo73xrfshT2OOPA5cFNiujW05brpj5Ad-GyvjYMl6he6ohtlMmC32HPLtIg_ALTVXqfQwqNJUKTNzcVkVkEO3hhOPvMdtZFYUF4y5ZA/s134/sig2%20-%20Copy.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="91" data-original-width="134" height="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgucCpf5-E4ck0xvWUb0tIDw9bjKfx6LUDDwMAY-DqwLOum8jbcRBnHmBfZK0OY2NKZ-G6NDUpVZwIBPdWmWScoo73xrfshT2OOPA5cFNiujW05brpj5Ad-GyvjYMl6he6ohtlMmC32HPLtIg_ALTVXqfQwqNJUKTNzcVkVkEO3hhOPvMdtZFYUF4y5ZA/s1600/sig2%20-%20Copy.png" width="134" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"></div>Jan Hermannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388252906826385107noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106219306121198156.post-70798035394945261582023-09-21T23:58:00.001-04:002023-09-22T00:01:07.733-04:00Dog Art - Dean Russo<div class="gmail_default" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YlEUQqGE0Z-JHMKQ3BcLF_UuJwRo7vjEl572OwdKOb4zb1k-9EfL-VblDyIFfFcj2Hm5K18sxtckpu7YDlefUCaJgoULsACf6Jt9bqBK7slrcXRbUXsSWtymptjWPoK6RCi4vCtQmw/s1600/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="929" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4YlEUQqGE0Z-JHMKQ3BcLF_UuJwRo7vjEl572OwdKOb4zb1k-9EfL-VblDyIFfFcj2Hm5K18sxtckpu7YDlefUCaJgoULsACf6Jt9bqBK7slrcXRbUXsSWtymptjWPoK6RCi4vCtQmw/w729-h929/3.jpg" width="729" /></a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">I've had 5 dogs during my adult life and I've loved them!

Dean hopes to convey the care and devotion of animal-lovers of every kind, from dogs and cats to horses and beyond. He has a wildlife series in the works, as a way to support the countless animals on the verge of extinction. Through inspiring messages and bright prints, he hopes to depict the connection between us and animals. </span></div><div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 1.45pt 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The curved door leads to a small 3rd floor porch.

This is the end of our tour - no photos of the Carriage House, because we didn't get to see it. We have been dreaming of how we could make this into our Bed and Breakfast Inn. It is just a lovely home...with alot of potential...but also a TON of work would need to be done in order to make it into a lovely B&B. Tom and I are still thinking about it...and looking around for other potential properties, too! We haven't made a decision yet.

I had three of them. I dressed them all, named them and did posts about them, too. The forms themselves were relatively easy to find...just by googling. Before I purchased my first on-line Mannequin [I purchased 2 from an on-line company], I called the company and asked questions about it. They were very helpful. After receiving "her", I selected a name, fabric, lace, flowers and whatever else I was going to use to "dress her". Then I got to work, using pins for one and liquid starch on the other 2, to clothe them. I found Ms. Pauline in a corner of a booth at an Antique Mall. She was...the soft squishy foam kind of mannequin...old and rather discolored. She really reminded me of my Grandmother, Pauline Hermann...hence her name. This is Pauline.<br /><br /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZgrOlMucU6boPnbINPjZVPUKJvcaQFeO3bTjQposlbSOyx8ljMA3tM4rIPdO-hS9P7jBlJWmOwyw_0SjwS-v_wZHmWPvGt6oOPiYzsMtOk6ovOnS8mjIe7flbJDfiuniqBJPsMJvTfw/s1600/DSCF3135+Pauline.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZgrOlMucU6boPnbINPjZVPUKJvcaQFeO3bTjQposlbSOyx8ljMA3tM4rIPdO-hS9P7jBlJWmOwyw_0SjwS-v_wZHmWPvGt6oOPiYzsMtOk6ovOnS8mjIe7flbJDfiuniqBJPsMJvTfw/s1600/DSCF3135+Pauline.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">My grandmother was the squishy sort, wore lacey clothing, always had an apron on when she was at home and smelled so pretty.

She usually stood near the TeaCart you see in her photo.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I posted several times about Pauline and her wedding on my old blog <a href="https://retiredtobling.blogspot.com/search?q=pauline"><b>HERE</b></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> These two Mannequins were added in 2009.

The Silver-Plate Crucifix is approximately 4.5" in length and has a crystal over the head of Jesus. It is a stunning crucifix. The Center and Pater Beads (12mm) are silver-plate as well and slightly aged. The Turquoise Magnesite Beads (10mm) appear crackled and aged and yet smooth. The Rosary wire </span></span></b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">is wrapped around the ends of the beads, for extra strength. The entire Rosary measures 34.5" in length.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ1IIxxB3Pvmul4Y4CXnRIf6lha8mMwilR8WGjS8jblvKeAlrfonAqWROk5NDEEqwcJCUt6A9_LHpIfLBOXHk-ysqbhXdyZVZJN0FCURZyjKCcyiGUCJGvAS8hHX-QltZVplvDYRs/s1600/SP+Turquoise+Magnesite+2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="1047" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ1IIxxB3Pvmul4Y4CXnRIf6lha8mMwilR8WGjS8jblvKeAlrfonAqWROk5NDEEqwcJCUt6A9_LHpIfLBOXHk-ysqbhXdyZVZJN0FCURZyjKCcyiGUCJGvAS8hHX-QltZVplvDYRs/w785-h1047/SP+Turquoise+Magnesite+2.JPG" width="785" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3arAdplK8FDNz5ItgnD98_g74H-wj8OKQ04YP8OTrxrklIYfBOBrZ3YyWltrr-3aAvjEMMfB-B0WW46yfYskFqrbmenl_HQHX_FN9yG8GjuOg4qOtrod3wl9K3eunAc0dMB8tF8M/s1600/SP+Turquoise+Magnesite+4.JPG" style="display: inline; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="979" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3arAdplK8FDNz5ItgnD98_g74H-wj8OKQ04YP8OTrxrklIYfBOBrZ3YyWltrr-3aAvjEMMfB-B0WW46yfYskFqrbmenl_HQHX_FN9yG8GjuOg4qOtrod3wl9K3eunAc0dMB8tF8M/w734-h979/SP+Turquoise+Magnesite+4.JPG" width="734" /></a></div><h4 style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisu4ozLH_2r-kUb0nGs2QAlj-O0asLPkVnZZsIgeF24lkDKQQAY85X6UCXEgUIDDzBcoPMyAuxMUYtcTgaDgMUhsgzuIKcpPf5iivwNn3bAkIlKeux5kRsxsZgIsd5DziKU5YW4YI/s1600/SP+Turquoise+Magnesite+5.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="1058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisu4ozLH_2r-kUb0nGs2QAlj-O0asLPkVnZZsIgeF24lkDKQQAY85X6UCXEgUIDDzBcoPMyAuxMUYtcTgaDgMUhsgzuIKcpPf5iivwNn3bAkIlKeux5kRsxsZgIsd5DziKU5YW4YI/w794-h1058/SP+Turquoise+Magnesite+5.JPG" width="794" /></a></div></h4><div style="text-align: center;">Originally posted on Feb 3, 2013</div><div style="text-align: center;">by Me...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Jan from Jan Tanis Designs<br />Tanis was my married name at the time.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs4XptSmrxW0IaMMzae8SwheWct60uS8weM5TT5hSMdiDyUIVmaMSNZVVGEZb7t4EV6DkSypR6NyB9c2xcflyLkEIlrrPE-gnYSozUpZVncAbBbJgoSzp5vmXae4OttcMERYebhVE48FGNj4fc843dZcsQPA3hFF2aMzbl-irMPZhuvd4b6AfM9HFPwA/s134/sig2%20-%20Copy.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="91" data-original-width="134" height="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs4XptSmrxW0IaMMzae8SwheWct60uS8weM5TT5hSMdiDyUIVmaMSNZVVGEZb7t4EV6DkSypR6NyB9c2xcflyLkEIlrrPE-gnYSozUpZVncAbBbJgoSzp5vmXae4OttcMERYebhVE48FGNj4fc843dZcsQPA3hFF2aMzbl-irMPZhuvd4b6AfM9HFPwA/s1600/sig2%20-%20Copy.png" width="134" /></a></div><br />Jan Hermannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388252906826385107noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106219306121198156.post-6221807493303159992023-09-18T13:55:00.001-04:002023-09-18T13:55:42.252-04:00Looking Through Old Photos<p style="text-align: center;"> Today, while I was on-line looking for a particular photo of something I found this photo.<br />It's me, 50 years ago!<br /><br />WOW!
