This page is the entry to the pages I've created over the years about my family. Some of my early life is chronicled in my Virtual Scrapbook.
My WofI, or Women of Influence page, features some women who have been very important in my life. First, of course, is my mother, but also her mother, my father's foster mother, and his birth mother, whom I never had the privilege of knowing as she died when Daddy was six years old. These were all strong, and strong-willed, women, and I count myself fortunate to have sprung from them.
The Family Photos link on the left navigation list leads to several pages of photographs of my family taken over the years. I especially love the ones featuring my grandson. Big surprise! The Maner family link leads to the quite extensive family website developed by my younger brother, Ray Maner. Lots of interesting stuff there.
Ramblin' with Sylvia is my online column begun long before BLOGS became the coolest things on the web! Current and previous columns now reside on my Ramblin Scribe website. The navigation link on the left will take you to Ramblin Scribe's home. To read my blog, hosted on Blogspot, click the newspaper above or Post Oak Chronicles.
A link on the left navigation bar will also take you to my Writing Galleria. The covers of two commercial anthologies in which my stories were published as well as my own two short story collections may be seen on that page. Eventually I will post excerpts from my collections, Best Served Cold and Love Comes Home. A navigation link on that page leads to those of my published stories that can still be read on the internet.
Where credit's due----
This website would be much less colorful than it is without the generosity of talented people willing to share the fruits of their labor. Some pages feature the wonderful Country Graphics that Brenda Nichols' used to feature on her Clinch Mountain Home website. Backgrounds of some of my columns were generously shared by a website named Heartland Ranch which was hosted at Geocities. The background of this and some of my other pages are courtesy of 
website.
Some graphics on my pages are from the wonderful collection created by Dustie Meads which she shares freely for non-commercial use and a link back. Click the link below and browse her beautiful seasonal and topical graphics.

Email Sylvia if you have any thoughts, suggestions, positive I hope, or anything you care to share about my writing or my website.
