Christmas 2008 Decorations

I spent several days over the Thanksgiving break putting up the interior holiday decorations. They are always similar from year to year, but I think the photography has improved over time. I think I will need a better flash assembly before I can make much more improvement though. Anyway, here is what I have going on with decorations so far this year.

Obama Family Volunteering at Local Food Pantry

I am continuously inspired by the way the Obamas walk the walk and don’t just talk the talk. They obviously understand what “service” is all about. I love these people. I also love the fact that the school children assembled in the church auditorium to see Barack, and that he took the time to meet with them. To read more about this and to see a couple of pictures, click here.

Barack and Michelle will be on a one hour Barbara Walters special tonight on ABC. Rumor has it they will be discussing the puppy.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Halloween Fun

Obama supporters are so creative, and we love to have fun. I know we have all been working hard to GOTV for the past few weeks, so take a short break and enjoy the halloween slideshow.

GOTV! Yes we can!

I am thrilled by my first attempt at taking night time photos of our outdoor holiday lights. The new front yard landscaping looks good even in the dark.

Peace.

Enjoying the Holidays

I hope your holiday season has been as enjoyable as ours has been thus far. We have been resting and relaxing, as well as spending time with out of town guests. The weather has been mild, but windy, with some very cold mornings. Suffice it to say, that we haven’t had much time for gardening and landscaping for the past few weeks, but we are looking forward to resuming the front yard project next week – weather permitting.

I was the grateful recipient of a new Canon EOS Rebel digital camera this Christmas. It was a total surprise! I love it. It uses the same lenses that my analog Canon EOS Rebel uses which is a big plus. I still have alot to learn about the special functions of the camera, but I took some basic shots of our indoor holiday decorations, and one of my golden lab which came out pretty well. Take a look.
