Hi all ...all this great talk about the PD goodies ... ...does anyone else rember "Pickleverst (sp)and Kale... Loved the pickleverst..hated the Kale...<grin> ...Also does any one remember heavy starching those hand made "Doilleys(sp)... those things that went under anything that went on the tables or counters of highly polished wood... ...they had to be "warshed" every week and starched and draped over the gallon coffiee cans and fluffed as they dried so they would have the wavey look on the outside and the flat surface in the center... ...and those balls of (I thought string) twine that those little silver knitting type needles (shorter and had a hook like tip) clattered as those nimble fingers made the most amazing designs and various shapes... some for the head rest portion of the chairs... so the "Bear Grease" on your head would not stain the chair... to even table cloths that when they were put on the table the polished wood under made the fantastic design show thru... ...Wow...I havent thought of that stuff for years... +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ed Hake bear@centercomp.com | | Alden-VT,NY,MN/ Denney/Denny-VA,KY,IN,OR/ Farwell-NY,MN/ | | Hoech/Höch/Hock/Hake-Hanau H.Germany,PA,WI,MN/ | | Hathaway-MN,WA,OR,Australia/ Hicklin-VA,IN,OR/ | | King-IN,OR/ Walling/Wallen-MA,CT,NY,VA,IL,OR/ | | http://www.centercomp.com/bear/ | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
