Chapel Hill is the ‘Public School District of Choice’ in
Northeast Texas. With a total student body of approxi-
mately 1,050 district-wide, the single campus containing
Elementary, Junior High, and High School is located just
North of Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) on
FM 1735 and CR 4660. A focus on the success of each and
every student truly makes Chapel Hill a place “Where Ev-
erybody is Somebody.” This individual attention is found
in intentionally smaller class sizes and through Chapel

family of five, that comes to two mugs per person; one
mug to drink from, the other one sitting in the sink wait-
20 is a tad bit excessive, don’t you?
Fortunately, my family doesn’t rest on being average,
and that’s why we have a whopping 147 coffee mugs,
which isn’t counting the Christmas mugs packed away
with the Christmas decorations, or the possible two or
three long-lost ones lying under each bed - mugs that will
remain long and lost because we have no other place to
put them if someone other than me actually found them.
Yes, 147 of the little java darlings for five people, and I
wouldn’t have believed it myself, but I counted each and
every one that I could see and imagine, and now I’m em-
barrassed to admit our over-indulgence, but since I’ve al-
ready started the confession, I guess I can’t stop now.
How did we come to have so many ceramic albatrosses
hanging around our kitchen’s neck? Well, I can tell you it
wasn’t MY fault. I only started drinking coffee a few years
ago, and by the time my addiction was fully inflamed, we
already had enough mugs to fill at least three kitchens;
plain mugs, funny mugs, tall ones, short ones, fat and hap-
py ones, some that had significant meaning, some from
garage sales, and some that just showed up at the door
begging to be let in, and how could we refuse?
You get mugs for birthday presents, Christmas presents,
souvenirs, gag gifts; you borrow them from the office and
forget to return them; they sneak into your car when you
go visit relatives; you buy them on the spur of the moment
when you’re waiting to check out at the grocery store; and
sometimes you order really nice ones online for a low, low
price of $9.95 a month for the rest of your life.

Of course, the other option would be to purchase a
home according to the number of coffee mugs owned. In
my case, that would mean moving into a 16,200 square-
foot mansion with a live-in maid paid solely to wash all
the coffee mugs and mow the yard.
I’d be okay with that.
