I loved her so much that I read every book in the series and at twelve, somehow convinced a friend's family that the absolute best vacation spot in the world was Prince Edward Island and they should take me along for the ride. Two adults and four children drove all the way from Poughkeepsie, NY to P.E.I in an old station wagon. And I got to go to the actual Green Gables. Twenty years later and I still love Anne.<br /><br />Loving your blog!Sara Louisehttp://sarainlepetitvillage.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-24599955969334519692009-10-18T23:23:42.574-04:002009-10-18T23:23:42.574-04:00The library does have an appeal.

It's kind of like watching LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE on TV, and then reading the set of paperback Little House On the Prairie Books I bought my 80 something year old Gramma French for Christmas in the 1980's. Now don't get me wrong I read all those books and loved them, but when I read about Laura Ingel Wilder's REAL life in a magazine last year I was sorely disappointed..

Talking my kinda talk, libraries, A.o.G.G.... sorry, I'm 5'9 so can't identify with the short thing. My fave aunt is short, does that count? I didn't discover Miss Anne until I was 53. sigh. I never even saw the movies. bigger sigh. I "think" my mom loved me. <br /><br /><br />Libraries are sanctuaries. Hallowed little cubbies of escape. I was hooked by 2nd grade. Mom would take me in the summer when they had reading contests, poor mom didn't know it would make her drive back and forth 3 or 4 times a week. Mom was thrilled and relieved when they started sending the BookMobile to our neighborhood. And they had A/C.!! Nobody in the 50's had A/C. <br />Then in high school the boyfriend and I would meet there to "study". Not.<br /> <br />We homeschooled our 3 kids so the library became my resource center and day out destination. Story Hour for the kids was my 1 free hour per week I could count on. So what did I do w/that hour?? Shopped the library!! When they started carrying movies! Holy Dewy decimal! All I needed was a Starbucks in the corner and my nirvana would've been reached! When we moved I wouldn't put the stamp of approval on our new home until I made sure the library was a goodun. Hubby went to interview, I went to library. Now my kids are grown and not ONE of them has a library card!! NOT ONE!! Oh, how I've failed!? I secretly believe they all have overdue fines from homeschool days they didn't pay.<br /><br />My lightning rod wasn't discovered until I read Gone With the Wind. I had seen the movie a million times (it's my #1) but Scarlett in ink is me. (Miss O'Hara onscreen is way too pretty to be me). She did and said everything I think and almost-but-not-quite do. She's the scoundrel I could be if my filters weren't so tightly fitted in my head.<br /><br />Add me to the going to be reading you list!!queenbuffnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313125199537663853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-43404323796700727642009-10-18T05:57:31.359-04:002009-10-18T05:57:31.359-04:00I absolutely LOVE this post!
