A compelling piece by published short-story writer (and my wonderful goddaughter), Jessica Glenn

The media marketing service site of goddaughter Jessica Glenn, whose firm provides highly personalized ''boutique'' marketing campaigns that can include conceptual business plans, promotional materials, personalized buzz as well as creating national campaigns for fully established businesses. The site also features pictures of my godgrandchildren, Zane and Myles

The excellent chef, Mary Bartlett (mother of my goddaughter, Jessica) does her special creations in Portland, Ore., and Paris, and has a fun, informative, dynamic cook book and site

A link to wordpress.com and an old (unpublished) short story of mine, "A Nice Room."

A YouTube video, "Fields of Dover," that includes some of the characters and locales featured in many of the Paintings By Rolf Rykken

The website for American master, Andrew Wyeth, designed and maintained by Karen Baumgartner

Awesome and amusing site from Mac-Freak Michael Maciarello of Dover, Del., featuring his female family -- wife Susan, daughter Katie (who is an excellent artist) and doggie-daughter Lily (who accepts Shelby)

Site for the multi-talented Marianne Meyer, free-lance Washington Post music critic, editor, photographer, Emmy award-winner for television writing for children and a Peabody Award for broadcast excellence for a radio show for children.
