Day One Hundred and Forty-Two
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery Page: 396 Finished
I hadn’t read this book for a very long time and was pleasantly refreshed by it today. I also realized for the first time that I believe Anne is the best book to movie adaptation ever. It’s been a long while since I’ve seen the movie also but as I read I kept seeing scenes from the movie in my head. Also…I think I was more like Anne (in the annoying way I’m sure) as a child than I realized then. I kinda knew but didn’t fully understand until now. Because of intense competition for attention between my sisters and , I generally didn’t get a word in edgewise – as Marilla would say – most days. I was also fairly thoughtful (in the thinking-all-the-time sense) and introverted but whenever I was alone with an adult I ran off at the mouth rather incredibly. Also used big words. Also lived almost entirely in my head. No red hair though…
We had a bit of fun this afternoon at Veritas. Mission Media shot a portion of a commercial here for the Rescue Mission and we had lights and cameras going for about 30 minutes. Not exactly like being in a movie but still fun. If you happen to see the commercial (July-ish) look for Veritas furniture and decor.
