My friends in Billings, Montana know how to make a person welcome.  Recently, I was the key note speaker for a fundraiser.  We raised $7000.00 for the University of Montana’s Chaplaincy programme.

 I presented a power point called A Spirituality of Laughter.  I was also invited into an English class and read from my collection of short fiction, Llamas in the Snow. Then, off a few of us went to Yellowstone Park.  The geezers are gorgeous and the grizzly bear we spotted, quite a surprise.  How thrilled I was to make such good friends and hope to maintain these relationships through the years.

This June Vivian was born. Her name comes from the Latin word vivianus meaning lively.  Her name means one who is full of life.  She has certainly filled me with richness and joy. Congratulations Rhiannon and Jason.
