While Piper and I were walking today,

I tried to explain to my granddaughter why we were giving a gift to our mail carrier. JoAnn has been delivering our mail since I built our house, 17 years ago, and she is retiring this week. I asked Piper if she knew what 'retire' meant, and she said it means you are too old to work.
 I tried to explain that a more accurate definition is that you have worked for a long time, and now you don't HAVE to work any more, cuz you've worked enough, and you've earned a break. She may or may not have understood, but I certainly do.... and appreciate the concept.
