A kindred spirit

Well, I sacrificed my precious nap to expose Natalie to one of the greatest stories of all time. We hit the jackpot at the library this week and found Anne of Green Gables on DVD! I love this movie, and the books are just wonderful, and I was so excited to share it with Nat. To be honest she was not so excited at first, but how could she not fall in love with the story? But of course she did, and we had a wonderful lazy afternoon in my bed watching it. I hope she grows to love this story like I do! Of course, we should have been out and about on this Saturday, but I am sick, and Keith is gone to class, and Brady was sleeping. So this is about the best way I can think of to waste a few hours! Nothing like a little Anne to bring you out of the depths of despair!

I would like my own copy of the DVD's and the full set of books too, please. ;)

My sister got this for Christmas. And while she's be recovering from surgery, she's watched them ALL! They're great! I'm glad Natalie was "exposed" and hopefully will have a life long love for them, as most girls do!

Love love LOVE Anne of Green Gables AND MY FAVORITE--Anne of Avonlea. Actually, I just love the whole darn 8 hour miniseries.

Yes me too Jenny! Did you ever watch the Disney show Avonlea? I LOOOOVED that show so much! It is all just so wonderfully good!

I grew up watching Anne, too! Absolutely adored her, and always coveted her red hair. There was a time when I was about ten that I would have loved to dye my hair bright red because of her!

I bought them all on DVD about 6 years ago. Don't buy the f/u to it where Gilbert goes to war. That one sucks and it ruins all the characters.

Jenny said...

yeah, that one stinks and wasn't based on any Lucy Maud Montgomery book. It was just some dumb hollywood writer.

I agree with all of you! Anne of Green Gables was one of my faves as well!!!!!
