All kidding aside, 1st video you posted had simply fantastic music on it....have no idea what they were saying but i loved the music.......and the dancing girls were pretty too....if I danced like that i would be as skinny as a rail.....instead of "fluffy" like I am now.

LOL, yeah, I'm a little "fluffier" than those girls too. Glad you liked the video.

Not that I know of. Sarah is from Maine and her husband a midwestern farmer. Anne of Avonlea is from the Island though.

Re: My Acadian Heritage

I find it so strange that my kids only have 2 cousins, one that they never see. I have around 70 first cousins, give or take a few. I only saw them on occasion, but still, they were like built in friends!

My mom is one of ten children, so yeah, the cousins are plentiful.

I asked my mom what it was like growing up in a family with 14 children. She said "Well, we always had a ball team!" But I know they were very poor. My Mom gave her cousin her prized possession for her birthday one year, an empty spool of thread!! They also ate a lot of molasses sandwiches. When my Mom and Dad got married and my Mom made "spaghetti", it was noodles with a can of tomato soup on top!

I get Anne and Sarah mixed up.

after the first scene comes up, my eyes roll into the back of my head, I get restless leg syndrome and start having panic attacks.


at that point I either pass out or have to go in the back yard with a magnifying glass and look for ants.
