Good morning, y'all!

My mug this morning:

I've lived in Michigan my entire life, but hadn't visited Traverse City until 2021, for a friend's wedding. Traverse City is most well-known for the Cherry Festival and the plethora of vinyards/wineries in the area - Mari Vineyard is owned by Marty Lagina, one of the brothers on the History Channel's docuseries "The Curse of Oak Island" (my husband was obsessed with the show - I thought it was ridiculous, lol). About 20 minutes from Traverse City, in Suttons Bay, is Ciccone Vineyard and Winery, which is owned by Madonna's family.

Anyway, TC is truly one of Michigan's most beautiful areas (close to Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Dunes, and right on Traverse City Bay). If you ever get a chance to go, I highly recommend it!

My mug this morning was an Xmas gift from my cousin. Yes, I have become THAT person in my family who is easy to buy a gift for because one only need get something chicken or bee related (because I also started beekeeping this year) . I am the family Chicken Lady, "Giver of Eggs and Honey" and woman running out of places to put chicken and bee knick-knacks!

Oh, neat thread! I love mugs, and I'm not fully sure why. Most of mine come from Texas State Parks. I was always sad when the park store didn't have mugs, or if they only carried metal or plastic ones. Today's mug is from one of my favorite parks; I can't resist alligators.

My mug today isn't from a state park, but somewhere just as cool. The Mammoth National Monument is a dig site that unearthed a ton of Texas mammoths, as well as other ancient animals such as a giant tortoise, a saber toothed cat, and a North American camel. The tour was chock full of interesting tidbits, such as the fact that during the ice age Texas was on average only about ten degrees cooler than it is in modern years, and that the Texas mammoths were distinct from wooly mammoths. In fact, Texas mammoths were, like all things in Texas, bigger. It's really worth checking out if you're around Waco.

This is a cool mug, and a great bit of history! I love to read the stories behind the mugs.
