Greetings from the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains!
Christmas is my favorite holiday, so I've decided
to keep this page Christmasy all year 'round. :)



"Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about... Lights, please... 'And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.' And that's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown..."

I love cats, and have 6...no, 6 kitties have me. :) Three kittens and a dog adopted us in 1994... and soon our kitties began to multiply. Now we have Sal who adopted us in 2000, Ilse who ran away from home and came to live with us in 2001 and in Sept. 2003 Minnie May adopted us and had kittens in our house...Davy and Felix went to a new home, but Sullivan and Dora stayed with us. :)
In January 2004 Grace adopted us! :)

I enjoy reading, reading, and reading! I'm a L M Montgomery fanatic :) and an Emily of New Moon fanatic! :) I love all of LMM's books (especially the Emily series and Pat of Silver Bush novels) and the tv series and movies based on her books. I would love to visit Prince Edward Island someday. I'm a member of the KS UPEI e-mail list where we discuss all things LMM. :)

Rainbow Cottage by Grace Livingston Hill is my favorite book, along with the Emily books by LMM. I enjoy reading books by Grace Livingston Hill, LMM, Beverly Lewis, (and many other Christian authors), Louisa May Alcott, etc. I have so many favorites I made a 101 favorite books list. (and favorite Christmasy books list too! Want a good Christmasy book to read? The Substitute Guest by Grace Livingston Hill is one of the best! :))

I enjoy watching movies, especially the Anne of Green Gables movies, writing long letters and e-mails, (but love getting them even more and usually end up meaning to reply and taking forever to get around to actually writing), working on web pages, rubber stamping, chats, anne3.com, used bookstores (and new bookstores too!), thrift shops, eBay, (want to see what I'm selling :) Don't forget to bid! ;) teasing...sort of... ;)) and I love pansies, roses, morning glories, & most blue or purple flowers. :)

I also enjoy crafts, (cross stitching and others), watching tv, (some of my favorites are Sue Thomas F B Eye, Doc, Avonlea, Christy, Emily of New Moon, Wind at My Back, Homefront, 7th Heaven, and many older shows. :)) I'm addicted to Days of Our Lives and have been watching since 1991...we began watching only to see what sort of part Deidre Hall might have in the show after liking the tv series Our House and we have never stopped watching!

Some of my favorite movies are the Anne of Green Gables movies, The Secret Garden, Lantern Hill, Little Women, lots of Christmasy movies, and lots of others!

I enjoy collecting Cherished Teddies, anything Suzy's Zoo, dolls, old L M Montgomery books, other books, stickers, etc...

I love Ginny dolls, Care Bears, think Smurfs are the smurfiest, but I have loved Strawberry Shortcake and her friends the berry best for a berry long time. (ever since I was berry little) I'm berry excited that Strawberry Shortcake dolls and other SSC things are being made again! :)
