I love using this coffee mug. I recently unearthed it during one of my many shopping trips out to my garage LOL I have several of Mom's coffee mugs, but this one is special. Well, they're all special to me but this one was really special to her. During Christmas break of 1984, she went to London with her best friend Janet and a group of people from Wingate University. It was either 84 or 85 but I'm going to stick with 84 LOL Anyway, this was the trip of her lifetime. She had such a wonderful time on that trip. This was one of the souvenirs that she brought home from the trip. She brought many things for all of us. I got a music box from Herod's which I still have. But this mug was a little something she got for herself at the Tower of London. I personally love the gift shops that are attached to tourist attractions. It's always fun to get a little reminder of the experience. The items are often kitschy but always bring a smile to my face. And that is what this mug does when I use it for my morning coffee. I think of Mom and the wonderful time she had. It makes me smile. 😊
