Janet and Craig McHenry

After Janet graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in journalism, she married her high school sweetheart Craig and worked as a newspaper reporter and editor.  They eventually settled down in the Sierra Valley in northern California, where Craig is a rancher and where there is not a single stoplight in the entire county. In their town of 700+ folks, she says they have raised four pretty good children and are now enjoying their ten grandkids, all of whom are perfect. Visit the Family Gallery

As a busy writer, speaker, prayer coordinator at her church, and board member of The Sierra Schools Foundation, Janet says her one pastime is friends!  And she looks forward to knowing you better! Find her on Facebook or her Looking Up! blog.
