This week we are watching a version produced by Netflix (our video service) and while it is grittier and more rough, my -year-old daughter found it so compelling she watched the entire first season after we returned from NY. My husband and I visited this place and I was a little disappointed that it was wedged in a golf field. But I still tried to capture the essence of that time.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-49635265025748762482017-07-19T20:01:45.112-07:002017-07-19T20:01:45.112-07:00It is interesting to see how stories come to life,...It is interesting to see how stories come to life, isn't it?Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-19737890141718329212017-07-19T20:00:42.552-07:002017-07-19T20:00:42.552-07:00There were people everywhere who connected with Gr...There were people everywhere who connected with Green Gables.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-2850214096892133672017-07-19T19:18:51.850-07:002017-07-19T19:18:51.850-07:00Wow.
