Happy Obama day

I got to hear the election results from my husband yesterday morning. I was at the treehouse to listen to the BBC, but they were covering the party in Kenya. Today is Obama Day in Kenya- a national holiday. I just heard in Nigeria there are 5 days of Obama holiday. I find it rather funny that the country is shutting down because a president was elected in another country. Two days ago I was at the treehouse and some French tourists were talking about Obama with their guide. I don't speak French, so I just know what the guide was telling the askari in Swahili. He was basically saying that if Obama becomes president, perhaps Kenya will be the 51st state. He also mentioned the possibility of GM setting up a production plant in Kenya and that all Kenyan citizens would have free visas to America. As for me, I hope Obama starts to focus on America a little more than GW has. And yes... I am very happy about it. :) Just by coincidence, Rose happened to bake a chocolate cake yesterday which will probably be my first and only here at the ranch. It was nice to have a way to celebrate. Yay for change.
