The Rainforest is full of information on the rainforests of the world and what you can do to help them.  It is also full of good links to other sites like ours.  This site is new this year and only has two full pages so far.  (Note: it is graphic intensive and will take awhile to load!) I hope to be back to work on it soon and have some background sets for your own virtual forest!

    The Sweat Gazette is a Native American Newsletter from Ventura County, California and is put out by our friend and sister Kreshia.  It is published quarterly and you can find all the back issues to present there.  Lots of information and stories from different tribes.  Some articles by Josephine Fire Lame Deer.

    The Native Camp Directory is just what it says... It resides at the Sweat Gazette site, but is a listing of all of my Native American pages that were previously found here at the Den.  I have moved them to the Sweat Gazette to make more room here for other projects.  From the Directory you can find Josephine Fire Lame Deer's page, two Lakota Story pages with stories told by her grandfather, John Fire Lame Deer and an Introduction to the Lame Deer Family.  There is also a comprehensive Native Links page.

    Shani's Place is a memorial site dedicated to our daughter Shani Delane Proctor-Viramontes.  Here you will find a lot of Shani's favorite music in the music room, Links to sites with information on Lupus, some personal information about Shani and the story of her death.  Shani contracted a fungus from long term overuse of the steroid drug Prednisone and  unfortunately, it went undiagnosed.  Find out how you can protect your loved ones...

    The Cottage site is new this year and will be my family's history and geneology pages.  As of now there is nothing there, just the index page.  I hope to be working on this one soon as it will have the story of how my grandfather's, grandmother came to California in a covered wagon and settled on the land where we live.  I hope to make it interesting enough for you to want to visit!  It will also have some very old pictures that have been recovered from my mother's house... Some of them need alot of work, but they will be worth it for an online family album.

    The CASA site is for an old friend of mine who moved to Oregon.  On his last visit he asked me if I would be interested in helping put up a site for Lane County, Oregon CASA Organization.  This has been a worth while project and I am happy to have been able to help out.  CASA is a program started by a judge from Seattle who felt there was a need for an advocate program for children involved in court cases.  Therefore, CASA;  Court Appointed Special Advocates, a child's voice in court.  Why don't you stop by and see what they are about?

    Last, but not least, the Den!  The Den has been my home on the web from the beginning.  I will be redoing the whole site, as you can probably see!  I will be keeping Charlene's Japanese Tea Garden here, along with some new concepts!  I have begun work on my newest adventure, Miranda's Magic Island.  You will find some of my favorite quotes here and all of my little adopted critters.  I hope to put up a Fairy Adoption site based on the island and also a graphics treehouse with lots of different things to offer you!

        Well, that's all for now...  I hope you will enjoy your visit here at my world and will return.  Please sign the guestbook if you have the time so that I can stop by and pay you a visit!
