I don't wear shirts like that ;)

LOL. Normaly neither do I. I hate it when people have a valid reason (ie reading) to stare at my chest. I just love the way that the Avonlea shirts are so original and nobody knows who they refer to but they have a lightbulb moment when you explain....also I totally heart Gilbert Blythe!

Yeah, I just wouldn't want to explain something like that.

Are you going to Avonlea again this season? .... so jelous if you are. :)

Well, obviously.

Oh man sooooooooooo Jelous. I would give anything! unfortunatly I only won $22.00 on the lotto. :( I hope you have an awesome time!!

How couldn't I? I always do! Most days anyways...

Well Im sure nobody else found it funny but I thought it was hilarious when my mother put the wig on in the dress up room and then tried to wrestle me to the ground and brake my camera when I took a picture! It's one of my fave pics from the whole trip we took :)

Yes, I can see how that would be very funny!

HAHAH I just re-read that while looking for another comment that Ive been meaning to reply to. You remind me of Anne telling Matthew that she can imagine how squashing the white bugs in the garden could be very thrilling! :)

Oh, I suppose that I do! I don't know why or how, but we just seem to be rather identical. :)

Honestly I dont think it was the buildings so much that I loved but what was going on inside. I loved the dress up building and the cafe and the big barn where they were having storytelling for the 100 years celebration. That was the first time I heard the cremation of Sam MacGee.

Who was telling the stories when you were there? I have read a book that mentioned the Cremation of Sam MacGee, and I've been meaning to read it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Honestly I dont remember. They were fantastic though. It was two men and a woman. She did Sam MacGee. It wasnt untill last year that I came across the poem again and it became much more special. Aparently it's a Canadian staple but I just think of Avonlea when I read it. I brought a great illustrated copy when I was in Banff actually.

Have you ever read No Safe Harbour? That is a STAGGERINGLY AMAZING book. In the book, Charlotte's father has The Cremation of Sam MacGee memorized, I think. And the main character loves Anne! What book,eh?

I havent heard of it. I will look it up, I love a book full of kindred spirits :)

Hey Who is the author of No Safe Harbour? I did a quick search on my Libraries web site but the only book with that title was about a ship wreck in New Zealand in 1963 :)

Julie Lawson I Think

That is a wonderful idea! don't know when i'll ever get around to it though.

I'm glad you loved it!

Oh, me too. But then, who can't love it?

I'll say!

Almost as tragic as Romeo and Juliet...

Oh, I know!

My family used to go there every year since it opened (I've been Anne-obsessed since I was six), but we hadn't been there for the past two years, so it was my one request before I left for university. It was just so much fun, but most of the people there actually had little kids. I still think that I appreciated it more than the majority of the children, though, haha.

do you know what year it opened?

I actually don't know what year it opened. It was when Rainbow Valley was still alive.

oh. i should look it up some time
