Joe:

You worked long and hard your whole life. Treat your retirement like a well earned prize. Take exceptional care of yourself.

How exciting Joe!
Happy Retirement and I'll be willing to bet you're at least as busy before retirement, if not busier. I hope you have special things planned!

Talking Okay, pretend.....
that I can sing and you can hear it, and it's beautiful in perfect pitch:

Happy retirement to you,
Happy retirement to you,
Happy retirement, Happy retirement Dear Joe,
Happy retirement to you!

Of course you recognized the tune as the same one for Happy Birthday, right?

Best wishes! Donna
