Pigs Can Fly - Janice Taylor, Self-Help Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today is a rather auspicious day.\u00a0 It is, according to my sources at HolidayInsights.com<\/a>, not only National Pig Day but National Peanut Butter Day as well (quite the combo, hey?),<\/em> and according to my calendar, today is Peter\u2019s and my 25th<\/sup> wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n

Alas, back in 1987, I did not have Holiday Insight\u2019s vital information at my fingertips.\u00a0 Had I, the reception menu would have included if not been entirely limited to pigs n\u2019 blankets, peanut butter sandwiches (minus the crust), ants on a log (celery sticks slathered with peanut butter), followed by a simple peanut butter pie.<\/p>\n

In honor of the intelligence and cleverness of the pig \u2026
\nAll ladies, whether in the wedding party or not, would have sported pink dresses as the men donned pink shirts with pink flowers in their respective lapels.<\/p>\n

Each and every table would have come complete with Pig Coloring Pages<\/a> and a set of Crayola crayons.\u00a0 Guests encouraged to color inside or outside the lines, as they like.<\/p>\n

Little pig statues presented to all who laughed or cried, celebrated or frowned, enjoyed the festivities or not: parting gifts for all.\u00a0 On the bottom of the pig\u2019s potbelly, the words, \u201cPigs Can Fly. ~ Janny and Petey\u201d would be inscribed, because it is an adynaton (figure of speech) that describes an impossibility.\u00a0 Surely, Peter and I finding each other, flied in the face of flying pigs.<\/p>\n

Music from Pink Floyd would have filled the air, as well as any other song with the word \u2018pink\u2019 in it.\u00a0 I do so love a theme!<\/p>\n

Nevertheless …
\n… Pigs and peanut butter aside, the treasured and cherished love, deep commitment to each other, the understanding of the sacredness of the union, and sense of journey would have remained magically the same.<\/p>\n

Please join with us today in celebration of peanut butter, pigs and love!
\nCrust-less peanut butter sandwiches for all!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!<\/p>\n
