There was a little tour and talk by one of her descendants. It was quite near the touristy house but a little before we got to the latter travelling from the Stanhope area.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-71472109198058510352017-11-15T14:26:02.141-08:002017-11-15T14:26:02.141-08:00I’m sure you’ll stay busy, Barbara.I’m sure you’ll stay busy, Barbara.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-58512520539864482512017-11-15T14:25:19.371-08:002017-11-15T14:25:19.371-08:00Lucy Maud was sad through much of her life, Marily...Lucy Maud was sad through much of her life, Marilyn.

I enjoyed your sharing about Lucy Maud Montgomery. I am aware of the difficult life that she lived. She truly loved the man that she never married and I suppose she must have settled in marrying the Reverend MacDonald. I guess we tend to think that someone who could captivate the hearts and minds of people all these years lived a perfect life but from what we know she didn't. I enjoyed your visit to her grave and the tribute that someone left with the straw hat and pigtails. My kids have loved Anne of Green Gables as well since being small children.Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-84028037265504500592017-11-14T06:51:24.293-08:002017-11-14T06:51:24.293-08:00The staying power of the Anne stories is amaxing t...The staying power of the Anne stories is amaxing to me, Tabor.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-18609914768421122712017-11-14T06:50:30.727-08:002017-11-14T06:50:30.727-08:00Thanks for the information, Mildred.Thanks for the information, Mildred.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-12638380117368854812017-11-14T06:49:52.861-08:002017-11-14T06:49:52.861-08:00They are so popular, Sw.They are so popular, Sw.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-48542017840324542772017-11-14T06:49:36.037-08:002017-11-14T06:49:36.037-08:00I am not familiar with the short stories but I am ...I am not familiar with the short stories but I am sure there are people in our book club who would be, Jenn.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-45447868033682080342017-11-14T06:48:03.760-08:002017-11-14T06:48:03.760-08:00Jenny, I too loved the original series.
