When I was in high school, pre Mesa years, I had a bunch of friends who got me hooked on Anne of Green Gables. We did everything! They made me read the books, we made food that was popular back in that time period like cherry cordial , and we even watched both versions and critiqued both films. The 1934 film was cute but it had the Hollywood happily ever after ending that really did not follow the book at all! =) Yes, we all even had huge crushes on Jonathan Crombie! (and our hearts broke when he passed away.) We had WAY too much time on our hands!
And then I moved to Mesa but I found another bosom friend who loved it as much as I did. And then later, after Chyrisse moved to Utah, I met my friend Debi, who was just as crazy for the story and me! We would get together in the evenings while our hubbys watched the kiddos and we would scrapbook, giggle, and plan our trip to Prince Edward Island. We were going to go there someday, we had decided, and see for ourselves this magical place that L.M. Montgomery loved so much.
Sadly, she moved too. To Montana, but we keep in touch. She is one of those friends that no matter how much time passes or what goes on, we can pick up right where we left off as if no time had passed. I don't have a lot of friends like that.
Anyway, (Yes, David. I am getting to my point) her husband has a new job in Conneticut. And this puts her so much closer to Prince Edward Island! She text me and now we are actually putting this crazy idea into serious consideration! Who would have thought all of that silly giggling, rolling around on the floor laughing so hard you can't breath fun is actually going to become a reality? I truly hope so! For now it is still talk, but serious talk! Wow! We will see what the future holds!!!
