Welcome home Judy and James!

Perhaps some of the "gobs of SignWriting data" could be made available on
our SignWriting Web Site as a resource for others. I will be glad to post
it for you and we can talk about it later, when I catch my breath.

I recently received this email message (see below). It seems your story in
Nicaraguan Sign Language on our SignWriting Web Site has gotten notice...

Dear Valerie Sutton,

What Is Bonus.com?
******************
Bonus.com, the SuperSite for Kids - is a new service on the
World Wide Web, that is open, free of charge, to all visitors
at this WWW address:

like many other web publications that want to offer their content

easy-to-use, kid-friendly environment.

Currently our visitors will find at Bonus.com selected works from

PS. Note from Valerie:
I visited their site and it is charming - many educational games that refer
to published works on the web. Our stories are not listed on their site
yet, because I just gave them permission. It will take a few days before
they are available. They also chose one other story from our web site,
Goldilocks and the Three Bears.


Valerie :-)
