My parents brought me this mug from one of their excursions to the American southwest. Unfortunately, the dishwasher has worn away the image (this is the less damaged side).
They went a few times to New Mexico and Arizona in their retirement. Whenever I use this mug I think of them. They went in winter – Mom enjoyed the break from the cold as she was definitely not a winter person. My dad, a fellow wildflower enthusiast, enjoyed exploring a novel flora. In fact (unless he corrects me), he would try to time their trips to coincide with the flush of spring flowers in the desert.
