I am now the proud owner of a bona fide Snyder Family heirloom: My father-in-law Dan’s “50 years of Magnificence” mug.

This mug has been part of my life for over 30 years as I’ve used it during visits to my in-laws. I’m not sure who gave it to Dan–I don’t know if he remembers–but I’ve been appreciating it more and more as I’ve been approaching 50.

And now it’s mine. My thoughtful in-laws noticed my admiration for it and sent it to me for my birthday.

I’m not sure what Marie Kondo would say about me adding another mug to my extensive collection, but it definitely brings me joy. (I adore coffee–strong and black–and am now getting into tea, so mugs never sit idle).

I even will let Chad use it, as he’s also 50. But don’t forget the mug was given to me, not him. Clearly the Snyders love me best…or just think I’m the most magnificent!
