Anne of Green Gables

One of my favorite characters of all time is Anne Shirley.  For the past week in the car I've listened to nothing but Anne of Green Gables and I just love her.  We finished the book on cd yesterday and I kind of want to start it all over again.  Since her birthday is in March we have a Green Gables movie marathon during spring break.  Even the boys loved it last year (though they probably wouldn't admit it)...and they did moan and groan every time we got in the car and tuned in to the next chapter, but Lauren and I were in heaven...and Nicole when she was with us.  Can't wait til Spring Break!!! 
 Love you Anne with an e. 


“Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?But am I talking too much? People are always telling me I do. Would you rather I didn't talk? If you say so I'll stop. I can STOP when I make up my mind to it, although it's difficult.”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
 
 
“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

“It is ever so much easier to be good if your clothes are fashionable.”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
 
“They keep coming up new all the time - things to perplex you, you know. You settle one question and there's another right after. There are so many things to be thought over and decided when you're beginning to grow up. It keeps me busy all the time thinking them over and deciding what's right. It's a serious thing to grow up, isn't it, Marilla?”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
