Mugs, Mugs and more Mugs
Over the years, I've collected coffee mugs. Now I use one mug a week for coffee and I use one of my larger mugs a week for tea. I remember in 1999 when I was in Kansas for my 30'th class reunion driving around seeing the old sights that I hadn't seen for a long long time. I finally found myself in town and needing gas I stopped at a gas station and when I went to pay I spotted a Kansas coffee mug so I bought that mug. Now this wasn’t the first mug I had purchased. I already had my Owl mug which I’ve been using for more than 30 years. I have 2 coffee mugs from the Netherlands and Las Vegas one for each trip I took there.
Most mugs have a special meaning for me. I have an Iowa mug because I was born in Iowa. I have a Jamestown Virginia because of taking a field trip there when I was in the 4th of 5th grade. One of the mugs is a SMMHC mug because of working there at the hospital. I also have a mug from the Data Center in the center of the state because I was employed by the Data Center and based at SMMHC. I could go on and on telling you why each mug means so much to me but I won't bore you.
I will just tell you that I have 51 coffee mugs and 5 tea mugs. I still need a couple more, like a Michigan one because I went to college in Michigan and met my future wife P there.
Well time to stop talking about coffee mugs and time to start using one.
