Hand Painted Tea Set Made in France

A blessing arrived on June 1, 1995 on the birth of my first Grandchild, Kaney Richele. 

She was named after her Great Aunt Caroline Marcovitch, Kaney, being her nick-name. 

Caroline loved the finest and had a Hand Painted Tea Set made in France. 

On September 8, 2023 the Tea Set was pasted on to Kaney Richele. 

Caroline  was born in Winnipeg 1913 to Mr. and Mrs. Abe Marcovitch. She was raised in a humble home on 610 Dewdney Avenue, Regina Saskatchewan. Her father and mother immigrated from Romania in the late 1890, settling in Winnipeg then moved to Cupar, Saskatchewan before coming to Regina.

She married Sidney Bercovitch and in 1941 "Sid Sunflowers Seeds" was founded. Caroline spent long hours in her kitchen roasting seeds. From the kitchen stove they graduated to the garage. The demand for seeds led to buying a larger place and bigger stove. In 1943 they purchased a livery barn, with two wooden doors, at 1323 Lorne Street, Regina Where they ran a successful business until Sidney’s death in 1973. Caroline passed away in 1996.

Cake and Flowers

Visitors are always welcome. It was a pleasure to have my Granddaughter,  Lexi Hilderman, and  her friend, Andy Rubio, stop by the other day.  There was a good conversations, flurry of activities, creativeness and laughter. 

Hungarian Bain Marie Pudding & Coffee Cake

Andy describes the origin of the recipe:  "I am sharing my Grandmaman’s Coffee Cake Recipe. My father dug out this recipe from the treasure trove of handed-down recipes in our kitchen. It came from his mother, Hugette Quinn, my Grandmaman, originally handwritten in French scribbles and shorthand Written from memory, this recipe was passed to her from a family friend, Helen Jenni, in the Hungarian Community in Montreal. This recipe though, reaches further back into German origins. I sat down with both my mother and father to translate the recipe each in their own style. My mother, Betty, – knowing that I’m wanting to learn French and increase my vocabulary – lay out the recipe in columns, hand writing direct English translations beside their corresponding French words. My father – with his own on-going recipe book project “From Smokey Steve’s Kitchen” – focused on the logical legibility of the recipe in precise steps and measurements for actual use. Making this coffee cake is an experience of wholesome smells that fill the house, wonderous if you enjoy the aroma of coffee and eggs."

After eating this delicious cake they were off on a trip to the Dollar Store in Kimberly to buy flowers that perked up a wreath which hangs on the outdoor step railing. 

Thanks for coming. The doors are always open. 

December 2023

 As I reflect back on the past year I am so very grateful for all the things that came into my life. Family and Friends. I may live a distance from them however I appreciate the modern technology that brings us together. 

Our Annual Family Traditional ZOOM brought us together, all across North America, British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and North Carolina. 

We were invited to spend Christmas Day with Pat and Kate Fitzgerald and Kate's Mother, Edie Dibley. It has been a long time since Randal and I sat at such a beautiful decorated home and dinning room table.

On November 5, 2022 the Regina Jewish Community proudly Presented  The Fall Gala in Honour of Past and Present Presidents of the Beth Jacob Synagogue. 

Jerold Birstein was president from 1992 to 1995 and 1984 to 1986.

Quote from his story 1989 

"I became active with Beth Jacob Synagogue and community by being voted to the Board of Directors, serving on various committees, i.e. House Chairman, Vice President, and President. I was also active in B'nai Brith, chairing the Car Draw Dinners and with the Wheat City Curling Club as treasurer for many years.  Throughout the years I have been active in fund raising, not only with B'nai Brith and the Beth Jacob Community but with UIA, Israeli Bonds and Hadassah-WIZO Bazaars. I was made a Life Associate Member of Hadassah-WIZO when Lorraine and I made out trip to Israel in November 1987."
