Family Memories from Long Ago

Kind of a heavy heart today remembering my parents.  Today would have been my mom's birthday, but she passed away in 1994, followed by my dad in 1996.  I miss them.  Lots of great memories of our life years ago, including travels like these. 

This is picture is old!  It's my dad, mom, and me, on a vacation to Colorado in 1969.  But this particular photo was taken in St. Louis, Missouri at the base of the Gateway Arch (you can see I'm holding a  booklet with a picture of the Arch on the cover).  

We went on many vacations together when I was a child and had a good time on every one.  Wishing that I could turn the clock back. 

Homespun Vernonware Collection

Here's a few pieces of our Vernonware dishes.  This is the Homespun pattern, last made in 1958.  My wife and I enjoy these a lot.  The two on the right are called "jug" pitchers. These pieces haven't been out of our box for a few years.
