Sean, at least the wheel didn't fall off. That's a surprise development when maneuvering in driveways, let me tell you. I actually caught myself saying "I disbelieve," as if there were a DM somewhere I could challenge.

And askye, happy multi-birthdays. You should give yourself two sets of presents and cake.

Ah there we are.... I have just bitten the inside of my upper lip.

(((Sean))). I've btdt.

What JZ said.

I third this emphatically!

Of course the tv series with Megan Follows was best, with Richard Farnsworth and Colleen Dewhurst as Matthew and Marilla.

I always missed Anne of Green Gables on PBS, but have seen Anne of Avonlea several times. Since I didn't have the emotional ties to the backstory, I always wanted her to stay with hot!dad of her student.

Dude, no! Gilbert Blythe!

Also, that storyline is conflated from a few different storylines in books 2-4. I know you care deeply about this, but apparently I am Bob likes carrots about Anne Shirley.

I've read Anne of Green Gables but I think just the first two books. I have most of them, I think I'll start rereading.

Something to add to the rudeness discussion: People who pull into gas stations with their music at highway volumes and don't at least turn it down.

Sean, what a bitch. And the last thing you needed right now.

I have read all the Anne books many times, but have forgotten a lot! Loved the PBS series. All of which reminds me I owe Aims a package. And Connie, too.

I'm so glad that askye is still here with us.

In the context of the book, it's more bittersweet than sad. It shows that the orphan Anne has a real home. I've read very many Anne books. (I've also saw the green gables house on PEI when I was about 14, which was an excellent age for it.)
