That's awesome about the country music and Brian being willing to take you. Happy Birthday! And I love Anne too! Good choice! We must be kindred spirits!
I didn't know Olive Garden had sweet tea?! I LOVE sweet tea. And the Anne of Green Gables trilogy is sitting on top of my tv right now. My kids and I love watching it. I cry every time Matthew dies. It sounds like my perfect day too complete with Sonic (vanilla dp). Glad your birthday was so fun. Come see us sometime!
the first time i watched anne (and only time i think actually...i know...i don't make a very good female sometimes), i BAULED (BAULED, DO YOU HEAR ME?!?) when matthew died. as in, BAULED!! man, it got me, for real.
but, as i was reading your blog tonight and the husband was looking over the shoulder, he casually mentioned that he loved the anne movies. who'da thunk? (i think his parents read the series to them...he and his siblings...as they grew up...they read lots of stuff as a family) i told him it was very manly of him to even admit that to which he just shrugged his shoulders and laughed...he has no fear of man i tell you...could care less what others think of him. love him.
so, we'll probably be watching anne as a family one day...maybe many times through the years. what a great daddy. we might be borrowing it when we make it back up that way. ;)
and even if you don't like country, who doesn't love george...come on. good job brian.
My mom got me into watching Anne of Green Gables and other movies like that recently. I love watching them with her. That's one thing I look forward to doing with her each time we get together. They are so wholesome and uplifting. I thought they'd be corny at first but nope.
Glad you had a great birthday.
Love ya.
Ariel and I absolutely love the Anne (Anne with an "e")of Green Gables triology. I usually like a book better than the movie but I like these movies better than the books. Maybe because I saw the movies first and the order of events is somewhat different than the books. Anyway, Matthew's death is touching but also his buying of the pretty dress for Anne. Hey, as soon as school is out I am going to watch these again--I am retiring, you know.
I am also the anonymous from above.
I like the old kind of country music--like George Strait (I am going to put him on my bucket list, too), Don Williams, even The Statler Brothers and Eddie Arnold. But then, I am old. :)
What a wonderful birthday! Happy Birthday!
