| Wow! People told us we'd stay busy once retired, but we had no idea HOW busy. Many of you have inquired about our upcoming schedule, so we decided to make it easy to access by just publishing it at our home page. We will try to keep it updated. When we're not traveling to dulcimer or quilt retreats, workshops, festivals, we're paddling our favorite rivers and hiking the trails. This is a year of transition for the Lippys. Check back on this page for pictures of good times had! (:>) |
