To achieve a top ten position by a major search engine like Alta Vista requires perspiration, determination and some good old fashioned luck. J. K. Bowman's The Spider Award recognizes the achievement, although it may be short lived. Please visit the wonderful friends within our web site, who have made this award possible. For they have taught, and taught well. Please listen to their voices. Some are no longer on mother earth, yet they still influence our lives and those of our children. (I have arachnophobia) |

Joan of Arc, by Thomas De Quincey was among the early stories that my parents read to me from Journeys Through Bookland before being able to read for myself. Her story has been reread many times, because the girl of Lorraine was a true inspiration. What is to be thought of her? A poor shepherd girl from the hills and forests of Lorraine in France - like the Hebrew shepherd boy from the hills and forests of Judea - rose suddenly out of the quiet, out of the safety, out of the religious inspiration, rooted in deep pastoral solitudes, to a station in the van of armies, and to the more perilous station at the right hand of kings? Enter our world and discover others who have inspired and lent courage - like Bernie Howe and Virginia Sparks. |

Love is expressed in many ways, perhaps the most heart rendering
is when a human has a dog for a special friend, and that love is
reciprocated. Then the loss tugs at our hearts for an
eternity. Guisseppe, a Chinese Charpei has gone to Rainbow
Bridge and Speaking Turtle, an Abenaki Man honors web sites which
touch his heart.
My dear friend, 'tis you who have touched our heart. Through your kindness, gentle nature, and exceptional teaching web site creation. Please accept our sincere appreciation for your award. Now dear visitors venture within to have other mysteries revealed unto you. |

Before a child can read, a passion for stories begins with the delight of hearing a tale from the lips of a loving mother or father. A parent learns the art of story telling from the early experiences of reading to children. Together the family share the experience of fantasy, poetry, history, romance, nursery rhymes, and other forms of reading delight. Thus opening the door to "art" and its variant forms. So visit The Port of Topics, one of the many teaching centers in the Heartland of GeoCities. |
