Gilbert Blythe. Wonderful, destined for Anne, Gilbert Blythe. I was in LOVE with Anne of Green Gables growing up. OBSESSED. Did you read Anne? It wasn't just one book, you know. It was a whole series, and I read them all. Multiple times. I considered Anne one of my best friends. I watched her on the Disney Channel and PBS. Anne might be why I went into teaching and why I loved reading so much. Anne with an "E," struggling with her red hair and lack of puff sleeves. I loved her relationship with Gilbert: intellectually sparring, frustrating one another, eventually close friends, and later married with like eight kids or something.

I, too, loved Gilbert. And Anne. And Diana. And Matthew. I was a little irritated with Gilbert in the first Anne movie when he would say, "I'm soooorry, Anne." For some reason the "sorry" has remained a burr in my relationship with the Avonlea crew.
Missing you all and loved the house tour.
