I am pretty excited to  be preparing to attend a Military  Retirement  party next month. Having  never attended  a retirement party of  any  kind  I  phoned my father in law and asked for gift  suggestions.  He told me he had a  friend that gave him a  lovely gift when he retired. I called his friend and we discussed what I wanted and days later I received a phone call that the  piece was ready!   Now all I have to figure out is what to wear!
