    Perfect retirement card! Would love to be on the beach right about now. Our weather is just crappy. Will summer ever get here??? We were at about 55 degrees yesterday and today. Stinks! No hope for sun over the wknd either:(

    Oh my gosh, blogger seems to be working and I can leave comments! Your card is so cute! We are in the process of painting our outside chairs and they look just like this. Except they aren't on a sandy beach:) Still dreaming, maybe one day.....

    Oh, how I wish it was time to retire. I still have MANY more years. I can go to the beach though and act as if I retired! That is coming up soon since we only have 7 days of school left!

    Great job and I love the little crab on the inside. :)
