To Lois Olmstead, finding an adventure isn't too hard to do . . . just look from where you are standing.

An introduction for Lois….
(Given by Pastor Walter Frankenberry,
Former pastor of First Alliance Church, Billings, Montana)
“Lois grew up on a ranch in Montana and speaks at conferences and retreats. She does a lot of things and she does them very well. But she will tell you she cannot cook and she cannot sing! She loves life, she loves people and she loves the Lord very dearly. She has a very close relationship with Him. She knows the ups and downs of life. And the ins and outs, bumps and bruises, burdens and blessings. God has gifted her with a very unique ability to express those various experiences of life as she shares them with those around her. She speaks and writes about the grace of God in her life and the joy of walking with Him. A very dear friend who you will find to be your friend as well.”

 

Lois has been married 43 years to Robert Olmstead.  Robert and Lois recently moved to her folks’ ranch north of Livingston, Montana.  They have 3 married sons and 6 grandchildren.

Lois received the Montana American Cancer Society Hugh B. Anderson Award for outstanding courage and personal integrity while facing the challenge of cancer. This award goes to one Montanan each year who helps and educates others in the cancer battle.

Lois, an acclaimed humorist, has written four books
Breast Cancer & Me,               Enjoying the Journey,
Denim & Lace (co-authored with Phyllis Rowe) and 
The Dude, the Ducks and Other Tales of Country Living.

She hosted a daily radio talk show in Billings on KURL Radio. She owned a gift shop and art gallery in Colstrip called Apple Cider Alley.
Lois says she “has raised three sons, one husband and
24 ducks.”
