My new coffee cup

Had a "memory" experience yesterday. We had not been to the Goodwill Thrift Store for a while, so we decided to stop in there yesterday. We used to hit it once a week, neat to see the shelves full of discarded items and it is inexpensive. Bought a lot of "junk" there, most of which was ultimately donated back to them.

Saw a cup I liked, 67 cents, more than I like to spend, but I liked the cup.

Bought it, brought it home and then I noticed a seal on the back of the cup, got out the magnifying glass and saw it said, "Department of the Navy." A cup from an "Officers Lounge, had seen them many times, but not being an officer had never had the pleasure to drink out of one.

I looked for a picture to use on this blog, found the above one, that cup is selling for $22, and I could not copy the clearer image, it had a copyright on it .

So, I, an old enlisted man, am this morning, drinking coffee out of an officers lounge coffee cup.
