Happy Couples on Parade

While this weekend has been preoccupied with phone banking for the Obama campaign, and high anxiety about what world we will all awake into on Wednesday morning, it's probably as a result of this cloud of high tension that I find comfort in sharing with you some simpler times and imagery.

The last thing I want to post from the treasury of Tiny Golden Books is a series of images from the back covers. 

These happy couples remind me of that famous quote from Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina": "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

These families look quite happy. Maybe they know something about the election results on Tuesday!?!?  :)

  

Have a great weekend!!

And remember the old Chicago tradition: "VOTE EARLY, AND VOTE OFTEN"!!

Hi Bill...I did vote early (LOVE that I could) but not often! Thanks for sharing pictures of the couples...I think I agree with you that they are the work of Garth Williams. I love his Little House and Cricket of Times Square series books. Looks like you two had fun at the Milk premier! Can't wait for it to open in the Chicago area.

~Oh, lets hope that these Happy Couples are smiling because Wednesday morning, we as Americans will wake to a new morning of "Change" ~
I have never felt so anxious over an election.
At times my heart just rushes.~I've done my time at the Obama Campaign Office.And~ have talked to anyone who will listen.

~But~as hard as times have been of late~
I am so happy to say that, my husband & I could be pictured in your Golden Book Lineup of Happy Couples~
:)

my favorites are all the hoofed couples. The eyes of the world and especially your northern neighbor are focused on America to make the only right decision on tuesday and make OBAMA your number one man.

They do look happy ( and quite pleased with themselves).

Never has an election captured Australians like this one.

Every thing is crossed for Senator Obama - please let the American public vote with open hearts and hope for the future.

being happy means many things, happiness lies in how you see your life, and from that point of view, I enjoy reading articles about it, thanks for sharing information

What you said makes sense, I like

A neighbour of mine advised me to check out this website few weeks ago, given that both of us love the same things and I have got to tell you that I am certainly stunned.
