Sarah Richmond Hi!


Savannah Janet, thank you for the friendship.

Donna Janet, thanks for befriending me on Good Reads. I have put my name in for the book. My full name and address is: Donna McCoy
926 Lorraine Ave.
Waterloo, IA 50702


Fenixbird SandS Thanks for adding me as a friend here, Janet! I love the sound of the summer blog topic of pickling summer pickles! A winter in Montana sounds so romantic! I am originally from cold country myself (Indiana) but reside now for many years in Sunny Phoenix, AZ


Janet Tronstad Sane people do leave Montana for the winter!! But my mother had hip surgery and my sister serious health issues so I was there happily to help.

I thought most people left Montana for the winter :-) This year it seemed longer than most.

I have a good friend in Ulm - though I don't make it there nearly as often as I would like to.


Janet Tronstad DEv -- how cool is that! Thanks for letting me know. MY sister's family used to live in Billings, but now most of the family is up around Great Falls. I was just there for three months (January to March) -- it was a cold winter!!

Dev Hi Janet - thank you for the friendship! I'm also from small-town Montana. I grew up in Hardin, but now live only a short distance away in Billings.

Janet Tronstad Paula -- No this message isn't private. I got your address so maybe you want to delete the message now. Glad you like the Dry Creek/ Mule Hollow books. Our first one is 'Small-Town Brides' -- the second one comes out next April. Oh, I tried deleting your comment with your address and I could so I think it's taken care of --


Janet Tronstad Thanks for letting me know you're reading one of my Dry Creek books -- it's one of my favorites!

Sandra Hi Janet,

Martha -- thanks for letting me know you're reading Mistletoe Courtship. I love reading a book when it's cold and snowy outside. Hope you have a cozy, wonderful day.


Martha Hi, Janet. I picked up Mistletoe Courtship Christmas Bells for Dry Creek\The Christmas Secret last night. We had snow predicted for tonight and tomorrow, so I knew I would need something good to read. Since we already have several inches of snow, I won't be going anywhere tomorrow, but I know I'll be passing my time by reading your book. I'm really looking forward to it.


Janet Tronstad My sister lives in Anchorage. Beautiful state.

Jane I just entered to win two of your books here on Goodreads today. I review every book I read here on Goodreads too. Your books are an inspiration to me and I added two I had read to my list as books read.
