Lots of regular customers and friends stopped by throughout the day to say a kind word to him and to wish him well. After more than 25 years of managing that store's aquarium section, he's something of a local fixture. One rival large chain pet store here in town even offered him a job last week! (Of course, he took that as a compliment, but politely declined).
Anyway, when he finally got home last night, I'd bought a cake to mark the occasion.
It's a hummingbird cake, one of his favorites. I bought a separate chocolate cupcake to get that Dr. Suess fish topper for it. :)

And that cake looks yummy!
Happy Retirement! What a fab cake you made for him!
Fabulous Wonderful Happy Retirement !
Congrats to Gregg! How perfect to have the comfortable sound of Humming-fish humming while splashing around the hummingbird cake.
Congratulations to Gregg on his retirement and also being offered a job! That's a huge compliment. Hummingbird cake is my absolute favorite but it can be hard to find here.
I love Hummingbird cake!!!!!! Love the touch of the Dr Seuss fish.
Good for him! I'm sure he's going to enjoy retirement! I know, I do!
What a delicious retirement cake! Happy retirement, Greg.
Lovely looking cake. I am sure Gregg will enjoy his retirement and will soon wonder how he had time to go to work. If I remember correctly he will still be running his own smaller business.
He'll probably find that he's now busier that ever!
Happy retirement, Gregg!
That cake looks great (as does the hand-painted plate), and I love it that you added those toppers and bought an extra cupcake to get it :-)
Happy retirement to your Hubs! Being retired is the bomb!
The hand painted plate is a gift to cherish for it was made with great fondness. It deserves a display place somewhere in your home. Welcome to semi-retirement Gregg!
I didn't know what hummingbird cake was so I googled it and it sure looks delicious! Congrats to Gregg!
Hurray and Hurrah for Gregg!
You know, I love that plate. I think it's lovely. I bet he is going to be so missed by customers and coworkers alike.
I love the cake you bought him.
Congratulations to Gregg and I think that plate is great. It has a sort of folk-art charm!
Happy retirement to Gregg. I'm looking forward to hearing how much he's enjoying his new freedom.
I had to look up hummingbird cake. It sounds wonderful! Unfortunately, I am dieting...and for once, I am making progress! Congratulations to Greg!
Congratulations to Gregg! I hope he loves retirement.
Love,
