Today is National Rootbeer Float Day and that brings back some sweet memories. Most of them are related to travel. Do you remember A&W Root Beer stands? When we would travel out west, or even on an occasional trip around town we would take any excuse to stop at an A&W if a sign showed up along the road. Happily, most of our western trips were taken in the summer when the kids were out of school so it was often hot enough to need a root beer float, or just root beer. There was nothing more delightful that a big frosty (they were always frosty) mug of root beer. Sometimes they would sell the mugs as souvenirs. I currently have two full size mugs and two mini ones (we started the kids young on root beer floats) in my cupboard. Even with all my downsizing, there are some sweet memories I couldn't part with. Isn't that silly? I gave my daughter my wedding china but I kept the root beer mugs.
