My mother called me last night to tell me about my (Nov) b-day present, so I wouldn't duplicate.
She bought me (expensive!) tickets for the December 3rd performance of the Lipizzaner Stallions in Atlanta! Less than 45 minutes from my home!
The Lipizzaner Stallions have not performed in northAmerica in 15 years. This year is their 60th Anniversary of their rescue by Gen. Patton in Vienna. I saw the White Stallions in San Francisco at the Cow Palace many years ago, possibly 25 years ago. I am certain I did not appreciate them as a pre-teen like I will as an adult. I visited the SpanishRidingSchool website and viewed a video clip of performances and training sessions and got all choked up and emotional.
I'm gonna be a MESS at this performance. But I'm gonna be a crying, bawling, sappy, HAPPY mess!

...hope I can sneak in my digital camera!
