Pink Pig

Today, we got to do a favorite - visit Priscilla the Pink Pig.  I've been going since the 70's and my mother before me since the 50's - back then it was Rich's Pink Pig.  I rode round the bottom of a giant tree in downtown Atlanta.  Mom rode on a track round the inside of Rich's itself - did I mention that said track hung from the ceiling?  One year we had 3 generations of Pink Pig riders on the train (Mom, myself, Taran and Lucy)!

 

I love taking Taran and Lucy every year - we have so much fun.  This year, Priscilla even wished us a Happy Winter Solstice - recognize!

10 years ago today, at this very time, Chuck held me as I leaned on him and we chanted as each contraction hit. 

10 years ago today, at 8:35 am, Taran Alexander Armbrust-Kohler came into this world with eyes wide and looking about him.

10 years ago today, I met one of the most beautiful, passionate, exuberant, funny, clever, charismatic people I shall ever have the honor of meeting. 

10 years ago today, that person allowed me to join him on one of the most amazing rides through life and for that I thank him!

10 years ago today, we were able to welcome him into the world and today we are so fortunate to say

Happy Birthday Taran!
