I read LM Mongtomery’s bio last summer and I can see why the “last Wednesday in August” was what she picked for this story. It’s summer’s final celebration, a great hurrah, a victory that has seen the seasons of life in many cycles and has chosen to celebrate while it is still summer. It’s such a heartwarming part of this novel. It’s so satisfying.

The Miss Lavender story is one of my favorites of the many little interwoven tales in the Anne books. It is very romantically satisfying and I love Miss Lavender, Charlotte the Fourth, and Paul! It's so funny how Miss Lavender & Charlotta eat based on their whims.

I would love to go live at Echo Lodge. It seems so enchanting.

I like watching the relationship between Miss Lavendar and Paul unfold. It makes me happy that he attached to her before his father returned, so he could feel content and excited with the wedding. (Also, I always think it's so sweet the way he talks about his "little mother".)

The live action Cinderella is a favorite at our house! I might need to revisit it soon. It's been a few years.

I'm also glad that Miss Lavendar and Paul got to know each other before Mr. Irving returned. Paul has such a sweet, sensitive soul. I'm so glad that Miss Lavendar understands him.

I'm surprised we haven't watched that Cinderella before now! It is a good movie.
