transp" Route 66

Hello, I'm glad you stopped by the newest incarnation of Sylvia's Place along the Internet highway. A difference is that the Internet spans the world, not just the good 'ol USA, as the nostalgic Route 66 did.

You've probably heard the old saw about how the shoemaker's children go barefoot while he makes shoes for others. Something like that goes on with this website! I love fooling with code, but by the time I've worked a little on my writing, updated ramblinscribe.com, my writing website, and a couple of other sites I take care of, occasionally my blog, I've used up my time and my desire to code.

Make yourself at home and browse around. I'm Sylvia, writer, avid reader, (almost)Tennessee native, and wannabe web designer. I created my first very rustic home in cyberspace about seventeen years ago. The Internet had only been opened to us common folks a short time before. Communicating with other computer owners was done via 'bulletin boards'. Remember those? Within a few years several companies began offering email accounts, for a price though there were a few free accounts available - Juno anyone? Or Prodigy? K-mart even got into the act with a Blue Light email service. So many people scrambled to get an email address and then learn how to use it. How in the world would we communicate now without email, Facebook, MySpace?

One of the links on the navigation panel leads to family pages on my site and the last to the extensive family site my youngest brother created.

On my Writing Gallery pages, I will post links to my online published stories for those still available, books I've written or hope to write, or maybe a short piece I've penned. Plus a few of my favorite pieces of prose by other writers.
