I was born & raised in the northeastern OK area and now live in central OK. How did you come to research Oklahoma among the other states, and why did it "win" you over?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153228502785993376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980953573985129946.post-27448177356233616672008-10-03T07:35:00.000-05:002008-10-03T07:35:00.000-05:00Janet that was a wonderful story and it is always ...Janet that was a wonderful story and it is always interesting to find out how other Brits made their way to America.

I intended to read this book with or without your recommendation. Although I do like a good mystery, I read a wide variety of books, and as you say, everyone is a gamble.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Jo, up to that point I had always played things pretty safe, but this time I thought to hell with it.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580238510653563817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980953573985129946.post-30330324770011207562008-09-30T14:41:00.000-05:002008-09-30T14:41:00.000-05:00I really enjoyed reading the story- brilliant that...I really enjoyed reading the story- brilliant that you took some risks and did something differentLakeland Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263946096580997595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980953573985129946.post-6249349113058498082008-09-29T22:03:00.000-05:002008-09-29T22:03:00.000-05:00Hi Janet, thanks for stopping by today and comment...Hi Janet, thanks for stopping by today and commenting on Carolyn's book. She gave us an assignment to come to class with three unusual names of people we know -- names that would be good character names in a story. When this one particular man rattled off his list, I was like -- wait, I know one of those guys, he used to be married to my friend Jamie! (Who is linked on my blog page) I had forgotten all about the guy and his unusual name. <BR/><BR/>If you get the book, I hope you enjoy it, I always feel strange about recommending things in case people don't like the same things as me.... but readers are readers and know that every book is a gamble, eh?Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357397551761295138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980953573985129946.post-34521563452184291022008-09-29T19:45:00.000-05:002008-09-29T19:45:00.000-05:00great story.........I agree with it being a now or...great story.........I agree with it being a now or never thing, it was the same with us..............thanks for sharing..Gill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980953573985129946.post-69772203368260383592008-09-29T08:17:00.000-05:002008-09-29T08:17:00.000-05:00Jan, you are brave beyond belief.

Well, I think the b-i-l is from Lancashire, your part of the world, now living in Yorkshire. A favorite part of the world for me, and I've only been there 2-3 times. I suppose you're in the Oklahoma "lake district" now!<BR/><BR/>How far are you from Oologah, we get up to see an uncle there every great once in a while!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357397551761295138noreply@blogger.com
