- A Prairie Home
Companion: I frequent
this little spot when I need my Garrison
Keillor fix. He's a master story
teller, who's tales of his fictional home
town, Lake Woebegone, are full of quirky,
yet real characters that fill your heart
with laughter and tears. His
stories rank right up there with L M
Montgomery and Mark Twain.
Minnesota Public Radio is kind enough to
offer us his performances on line in real
audio format. You can choose to
listen to the whole show, or just
sections. I usually just listen to News
from Lake Woebegone.
- Lifetouch: photography
- A Beginning in
Photography : I am a
beginning photographer, so I find
tutorials like the one here very helpful.
I hope you do too.
- Census 2000 : My summer
job. Stand up and be counted; it's only
once every ten years and the statistics
it generates determines many important
things for your community.
- The Hunger
Site : Every day
you visit this page it donates food to
the United Nations Food Program.
All it takes is a click of your
mouse. Great concept; fantastic
site :)
- E-bay: I never knew
I had a competative side until I started
bidding on e-bay. You can find some
great deals and some rare merchandice
here. I visit the doll section, the
movies, and the book section the most.
- HTML Goodies : Pretty good
resource for web design, from the basic
tutorials on color choice and immage
placement to more advanced things like
java script.
- Web Graphics
on a Budget : This site
gives some wonderful tutorials to set you
off on a web graphics adventure with
Paint Shop Pro, an excellent graphics
program. I learned the basics with this
site, which enabled me to explore the
program on my own. Highly recommended.
- Rose Garden
Graphics : My other
website, with original graphics
creations.
- Victoriana.com: One of the
first sites I visisted on the web.
Interesting merchants, museums, and
articals related to the Victorian era.
- Bitsy's
Kitchen: Good site.
Nicely designed, it has some great fruit
smoothie recipes (my breakfast of choice
:)).

LMM
on the Birth of Anne of Green Gables
"
All my life it has been my aim to write a
book- a "real live" book. Of
late years I have been thinking of it
seriously but somehow it seemed such a
big task I hadn't the courage to begin
it... Two years ago in the spring of 1905
I was looking over this notebook in
search of some suitable idea for a short
serial I wanted write for a certain
Sunday School paper and I found a faded
entry, written ten years
before:-"Elderly couple apply to
orphan asylum for a boy. By mistake a
girl is sent them." I thought this
would do.... Somehow or other she seemed
very real to me and took possession of me
to an unusal extent. Her personality
appealed to me and I thought it rather a
shame to waste her on an ephemeral little
serial. Then the thought came,
"Write a book about her."...
The result of this was Anne of Green
Gables...
"The
book may not sell well. I wrote it for
love, not money-but very often such books
are the most successful- just as
everything in life that is born of true
love is better than mercenary ends."

Selected Journals of L M Montgomery Vol1

"I'll never forget the days of
my youth. When the waves rippled between my toes,
taking the pink and silver grains of sand back
out to the depths of the sea. There was a peace
then; an indescribable feeling of imortality in
the eb and flow of the tide, and the seemingly
endless streatch of beach and sky. Now as I gaze
out upon those same sparkling waters, I realize
that youth is never left behind, but is carried
always, gently, in the heart."

Peace! You never know
what peace is until you walk on the shores or in
the fields or along the winding red roads of
Abegwaite on a summer twilight when the dew is
falling and the old, old stars are peeping out
and the sea keeps its nightly tryst with the
little land it loves. You find your soul then...
you realize that youth is not a vanished thing
but something that dwells forever in your heart.
And you look around on the dimming landscape of
haunted hills and long white sandbeach and
murmuring ocean, on homestead lights and old
fields tilled by dead and gone generations who
loved them... you will say, "Why... I have
come home!"
~"Prince Edward
Island" The Spirit of Canada LM
Montgomery
"When I'm on
Prince Edward Island in the summer I always
understand an
Old Scotch Islander I met once in Winnipeg. He
was always talking of
'the ISLAND.' Someone asked him, 'What Island do
you mean?' He simply
looked at that ignorant man. Then he said, 'Why
Prince Edward Island,
man. What other island is there?'
