Lucy Maud's creation... Anne

I admit I LOVE the films produced and directed by Kevin Sullivan for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea are especially precious to me. Here is a scene in which Anne, portrayed by Megan Follows, daydreams her way through a day that would bring most of us to the "depths of dispair."

Thank goodnes someone else has a problem "holding her tongue". Anne must apologize to Rachel Lynde even though she was quite rudely insulted by her comment that Anne's hair was "red as carrots." Oh, the things we will agree to do just to have a place to call home.

Anne enjoying the many beautiful sunsets of Prince Edward Island. I wish Icould just pop into this picture to see more of the view.

Hidden Inspiration

Lately I have been running into inspiration in the strangest places. I have been cleaning out the house of "stuff" I just don't need anymore and ran into something that has been a hidden inspiration in some of the beautiful things I am finding myself gravitating towards while planning my wedding: Anne Shirley. I have always loved "Anne of Green Gables" and almost anything associated with L.M. Montgomery's fantastic series of books about the most wonderful, redheaded, optimist I have ever had the pleasure of "meeting." Because my Mom just reminded me how my Grandmother always used to ask me when I would find my "Gilbert," and my matron of honor told me about a bride she knows who used "Anne's Theme" in her wedding ceremony, I thought it appropriate to delve back into the series as a treat for doing well on my midterms.
