On
my
main "topics" page,
you will find a Sing-along
Page with music to 100+ songs of all styles, displayed with their lyrics
so that you can sing along with them! Some have melody tracks and others
are strictly "karaoke" style. Or, if you'd just like to sit back
and take it easy, there is also a page of beautiful Mellow
MIDI Music that many people have told me they return to again
and again. It's hard to see how you could listen to these melodies
without relaxing!
You
will find a page about "Our
Travels", with links to pages about the places we have visited, and
some pictures Bill has taken on these trips! There are links to other great
travel sites, also. On my
Things
Remembered page,you'll find links to some we have loved and lost.
Of
course, you'll get to meet our
three daughters ... Mindy,
Amy,
&
Marci ...
and
our
five grandchildren. While you are visiting those pages,
you will find links to pages they have helped me build with their interests
in mind! One page is a joyous
memorial for our eldest daughter, who died several years ago,
and there is also a memorial page for our baby
son.
My
daughters and grandchildren are so important to me, and now I see my daughters
dealing with the same parenting issues that I dealt with when they were
growing up. In view of this, I have put together several pages dealing
with parenting. The first, guaranteed to touch something within you if
you are a parent, is "Becoming
a Mother". Another favorite of mine is "How
To Really Love a Child" which contains some fun and insightful writings
I have come across... 2 of which were given to me by my daughter,
Amy, herself a new mother. Another is "Spoiling...
or Nurturing?" which deals with the decision of whether or not to pick
up a crying baby or child. Another, "We
Pray for the Children" is a touching writing (author unknown) to help
us not forget children that do not have the advantages and love that we
give our own children. Then there is a page of links to "Parenting
Sites" with a brief description of what you will find on each. Throughout
all the pages in "Jan's
Joyous Jungle", you will find photos of my loved ones!
NOTE:There
are many more pages that I have not linked here, such as a number of thoughtful
writings and quotes, kids pages, a page of real jungle sounds, "information"
about dragons, and original short stories by my grandson
Ryan,
and some pages that are just for fun! So, be sure you start your visit
from the Main Topics
Page so you can see all your choices! After your visit today,
please take a moment to sign my guestbook and give me your thoughts! I
will be adding to and making additions and changes to all pages frequently!
I really hope you enjoy your time here
and that you will come back again!
