I think that was the year. Every other win has been on someone else's playground. So this one is extra special. And yes, I do think they redid the Green Monster a few years ago...or so.

I brought one of the Courtship Letters to a writing retreat because I needed to do the blog before I could write but I was having a hard time discerning a word. When I showed the letter to my writing peeps, one gasped and said, "But it's 100 yrs old." Well, yeah. And when I offered it to her to read, she stepped back, hands Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-44488017537091801062013-11-06T17:49:59.923-05:002013-11-06T17:49:59.923-05:00You'd rather watch people beat each other up w...You'd rather watch people beat each other up with sticks.

Montgomery's story of Anne of Green Gables, but many don't realize it happened in that first decade of the 1900's. And of those that do, many think of Prince Edward Island and the Maritimes, not inland Ontario. Probably because it was the era of Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-32189603238313651462013-11-06T17:47:12.166-05:002013-11-06T17:47:12.166-05:00Well now, Anita, we could talk about it if you'...Well now, Anita, we could talk about it if you'd like.
