No more Obamashrine

It has been taken down.

Today.

I'm sad, but happy.

Victory Photo

Thank-you America!

Finally, after almost a week of whooping and singing, hugging complete strangers, and marveling at what a moment in history just happened, I'm finally getting around to post to this blog.  In fact maybe it will be the final post.  I haven't decided yet.

Doing this shrine has been so much fun.  Public opinion has been overwhelmingly positive and seeing everyones smiles as they walk past has been awesome.

One day I had a lovely note from a passerby asking if he could photograph the shrine.  This photo is the result.  Thank-you Bryan Karl Lathrop (watch out for his website - coming soon).

I hope that in some way we helped to do our part to make this wonderful, wonderful, thing happen.  Because I couldn't vote.

But now I'm going to find out about citizenship......

There is a lot of work to be done, and everyone is going to need to pitch in, but I'm convinced that President-elect Obama is the absolute best man for the job.

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

What a great day for the United States and the entire planet.

Hooray

Horray

Hooray!!!

Baltimore Avenue in West Philly exploded in joy (see link)

Barbies for Obama

VOTE!!!! PLEASE VOTE!!

This poster is on the window of my house.  Sent to me by my friend Sandra (thank-you Sandra!).  I hope it represents tomorrow.  Obama in red and blue (states).

PLEASE.

Yikes! It's tomorrow....

Polly Pocket Obama Shrine

Before we had even thought about starting this blog it seems someone else was lovin' our shrine.  I've added a link to the Polly Pocket photo.  I'm so happy about this as said Polly disappeared soon after.....

A Sarah day

Today seems to be a Sarah day.  See our two new additions.  One of which appeared mysteriously during the night.......

Halloween for Obama

Now that we are moving into the spooky season, I've added a few festive obamakitches.  See the black cat, in honor of my Tallulah (now deceased alas) who would surely have voted for him if she could.

Twins for Obama

Well, not exactly twins....Identical happy meal toys from eons ago.  But hey, in our neighborhood I don't want to put anything too valuable out because it will 'disappear'.  Though I have to say, aside from my main shrine photo (framed) being carefully removed one night, there has been remarkably little vandalism.

Julie, you inspired me

My friend Julie just sent me a link to her blog from England.  Wonderful.  She inspired me to call my ten year old to the computer and say "help me make a blog".  So we did it.  Right now the thing that is uppermost on my mind is the forthcoming election.  People find this strange as I am not a US citizen.  But I have lived here 15 years.  Never have I felt so strongly about who I want to win an election.  

So, Julie.  I made this blog for you and anyone else who cares to look.......

My Obamashrine

For months I've been adding obamakitch to my front yard.  I really want him to win this election.
