It was my favorite mug and the only one in our extensive collection I could use for my eight o’clock coffee. The red one with the gold stripes was for my ten o’clock coffee. The moss green one with a painted pinecone on one side was for my midday coffee. I didn’t drink coffee after noon. If my doctor had her way, I wouldn’t drink it at all. She claimed it exacerbated my anxiety. I disagreed.
