Day 28: CUPS

I went to Wilson Memorial High School in Fishersville, Va; THE University of Virginia for grad school, and lived in Va for 25.5 years. The first cup was Mom's birthday gift to me the year she died. I got it in October 1996 rather than December.

I lived in Munich, Germany for two years, Augsburg for one year. They have a nice ceramic factory in Waechtersbach where the geese mug came from. I've had it since 1984. The Happy Fisherman is/was a seafood restaurant in Memphis, right off the interstate. The dining room has/had a huge window so we could view the lake. I'll never forget a hot air balloon crashing into the lake during my dinner.

Next I came to Lawton to live, a very long 27 years ago. While here I have acquired cups from Ag in the Classroom workshops, a Christmas gift of Godiva Chocolate from a student, a McDonald's cup that fits my car cup holder really well, and a Wayne & Susan mug as a wedding anniversary gift. We went on a Carnival cruise so I got several mugs from there, this one shown being my favorite. Those of you who know me know that I am TIGGER! I would have mostly been labeled ADHD in school.

I worked in Alaska in 2011. The purple cup with the straw was given to me, only when it was new there was an inner layer of purple (which has since been broken).

This summer I have baked some (measuring cups), fed the dogs (dog bowls- well, dogs do not drink or eat from cups!)drank a lot of tea so the bottle is my cup (no one drinks it so I'm quite safe here), and cleaned skunk from my dog Rascal. That's the cup with dawn and baking soda in it.

Lastly are Wayne's cupped hands. He, too, used this cup to clean old Rascal last night.
