We want to wish a happy, happy birthday to Loreen Stutzman, who takes care of all the paperwork, payroll, and office work that Joe and I just don’t have time to do. Loreen has been such a blessing to us, conquering all of the problems and tasks that often never left our “to do” lists. But thanks to Loreen, those things are now DONE!

Loreen has worked for us for a little over a year and she has really made our lives hassle-free. We don’t know how we got along before without her! Being a mom, she knows how to multi-task and keep us all on track to complete even the most mundane jobs! And she does it all with a giant smile on her face!

Thank you, Loreen, for all that you do! We hope you will be well enough to celebrate your birthday in style–no upset bellies to prevent feasting on lots of cake!

We want to wish Dr. Steve Tornik of Tornik Family Medicine a very happy birthday on Wednesday, March 14. Dr. Tornik is second from the left in the photo of the “firing squad.” Joe is fourth from the left (as if you could not spot him!). This photo was actually taken at the Memorial Hospital charity shooting event–so no need to worry about gangs of armed doctors and pharmacists patrolling Plain City!

We are very happy to have Dr. Tornik in town and we know his patients feel the same way.

March 14, as some of you may know, is also Pi Day (Pi equals 3.14159…, but mathematicians round to 3.14 for this day). March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein. Dr. Tornik is in fine company with geniuses and mathematicians on this day! We wish him an infinite amount of happiness!

We want to wish Ann and Richard Murray a very happy 65th anniversary on March 8! Ann, as most of you know, worked for the pharmacy until this past May. After she retired, it seemed like poor Richard had nothing but health problems. But, Ann was there to take care of him, so it was a good thing that she had retired.

Happily, they are both now healthy and are going to stay that way, enjoying the years up until their 70th anniversary! We want to wish Ann and Richard much happiness, as they continue to take care of each other (Ann was cleaning up Richard’s chin in the pictures, because he had cut himself shaving–we should all have someone who loves us that much to do the little “monkey grooming” tasks, as Joe calls them).

We also want to wish them many, many more happy days at the Lake. We love you! Enjoy your day!

We also want to wish a happy birthday on March 8 to Andy Mayer. Have a great day and enjoy many, many more joyful birthdays, Andy!

If you’ve ever had a medication dropped off at your home, you may have been visited by delivery driver, Larry Sparks, who spends many an afternoon hanging out in the giant white van with Joe’s picture on the side.

If Larry stops by your house this coming Wednesday, February 1, make sure to tell him to have a wonderful birthday.

If you are wondering why Larry is holding up a Zagnut candy bar in this picture, it is because Joe has an addiction to these oldies but goodies and Larry was teasing him about it.

For his birthday, Joe said he’ll let Larry have a Zagnut, too.

As sweet as a candy bar, Larry has been a blessing to us and our customers and we want to wish him the happiest of birthdays.

Last year, I was a bit late in wishing Veronica a happy birthday, so I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss her special day this year.

Happy Birthday on Friday, January 13, to a very, very lovely lady. We hardly know how Veronica has time to celebrate her birthday–she is such a busy woman. Veronica keeps the Plain City Lions Club rolling and gets the seniors at the Bickham Center involved in lots of activities. Not only that, but she always does everything with a big smile.

From Spanish lessons to Cuban sandwiches, Veronica has given a lot to Joe and me.  Most treasured among all her gifts, however, is her friendship.

We return that friendship and love to you this birthday, Veronica. Have a wonderful day, our dear, dear amiga.
