• 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.
• Hope Island: Set in a small Island town in the Pacific Northwest, Hope Island tells the story of Daniel (played by the wonderful Cameron Daddo), a minister who arrives on Hope Island to reestablish an abandoned church after a series of personal failures.    His love interest ( is tavern owner and single mother, Alex, who's personal beliefes against organized religion sometimes set Daniel and Alex at odds.  The town is filled with many, many wonderful characters and some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen on a show since Avonlea. Episode  descriptions, links, intersting facts, and some fan fiction are contained on this fan page. The bad news for us fans, especially those of us who haven't had the time time to watch all the episodes. Lion's Gate television discontinued the series and PAX will not air any more reruns. :( However, you can still see the series if you live in Canada. ( (heehee)I think I need to move to Canada.)
• Third Rock From the Sun:  I try never to miss the antics of Dick, Tommy, Harry and Sally.  This is one of the best sites out there on the series.  Lots of info on cast, episodes, airdates, and behind the scenes antics.  Also includes real audio files, merchandise (I wanna coat like Harry's! ;)), and a few fun extras.  
• 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  :) 
• Victoria: My favorite magazine
• 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."
~~LM Montgomery, The Selected Journals of L M Montgomery Vol1 August 16, 1907

"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."

Hetty King from her novel "My Home is the Island"... Momento Mori

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?'
