I just have to tell you how much I have enjoyed reading all the posts from the "past" and since I was born in 1955 I do remember a lot of it. My Mom and Dad lived in Iowa City for a while long before I was born but then moved back to Tennessee, I guess they were homesick and missed family. From the pictures you post I would love to visit up there and since you still live basically like they did in the earlier years I know I would definitely love to visit you (but I might not ever want to leave)! Thank you for the wonderful memories although I know they were hard times they seem to also be wonderful times.Lenoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12636137893320555393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-3226948060996709472013-07-21T09:03:47.152-05:002013-07-21T09:03:47.152-05:00We have two sets of the primary color bowls.

The brown & white with gold design Pyrex. Yep, 1969 and I have the full set.
