We enjoy travel, ministry/bible study, fitness, biking/hiking/skiing/snow shoe'ing/kayaking, reading, photography, knitting, investing, gardening...mostly being with our kids and grandkids.

Is this where we are supposed to update every 6 months? Not much has changed this past COVID year except cancelled trips and lots of at-home time (Fl and CO). 10 of the 12 family members survived COVID. Eric (still posted in Middle East) and their 6-year old son are the only ones, besides Paul and I, "escaped". We received our vaccines in Colorado. For the first time in the 22 years we have owned a place in Breckenridge, we drove back and forth (2000+ miles each way) three times, seeing a lot of the country. We still love/like each other, so the quarantine time was more a blessing than a burden, though we miss our kids and grands. Paul finished selling his business (dental centers) and I knit a lot of prayer shawls (with a group in colorado) for hospitals, shut-ins, new borns.....
School Story

Belated Happy Birthday! I was impressed with your "autobiographical" essay posted in our 60th Reunion document! You've led quite an interesting life!

Happy Early Birthday! Missed you at the 60th. BTW, is that a Bernese Mountain Dog? Similar coloring. We have a micro-mini Bernedoodle.

Happiest of birthdays, Hilary. As we think about the reunion in October, I remember Jr. Wightman tennis matches, ping pong marathons at your house, first time corn on the cob thanks to your Mom! Oh an the quartets in Jr. High!

Happy Early Birthday! Many good memories of tennis, ping pong and singing! Also over-nights and first-even corn on the cob at your house. Your Mom was almost a second mom to me. I remember watching you hopping down the road, alternating crutches right-to-left after knee surgery from skiing! You seemed fearless!!
