How do you get motivated on a rainy Monday? Thinking about Summer Water Fun of course.
Most swimming pools and public lakes here in Missouri officially open Memorial Day Weekend, so it's time to think about how to prep for a day the by the water. Don't forget - The sun's rays are hottest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so try to plan your visits accordingly.

How many of you shop local? Supporting local business does a lot for the community.
It was so much fun talking to all the expecting families, new moms, grandparents, and kids. We even got to visit with some local OB/GYNs, pediatricians, and other great small area businesses. We talked about our Free Kid’s Gummy Vitamin Program, Pediatric Home Medical Equipment, Breast Pumps, and Cloth Diapers. We got to give away a gift basket, cute plush giraffe and throw, many pens, and lots of information.
This week has been a great week to catch up on computer work including some needed updates to the web site, our monthly newsletter, highlight our lift chair sale for the month of June, prep for future events, and other little details. Today was National Doughnut Day so we even celebrated a little.
So, our Inventory Manager at Broadway, Ron Robertson, is moving on to the great state of California from the basement and OTC Inventory shelves of D&H Drugstore. Happy Retirement to you! Today is your day. Ron has been a fixture here for 22 years and he’s excited to be moving west.
I don’t know about you, but this past week has been a whirlwind.
Last week, we joined Our Lady of Lourdes Interparish School at their 1st Communion Picnic at the Cosmo Burford Shelter. We had 3 classes full of 2nd graders and their families ready to experience the new playground, get their faces painted, blow bubbles, try out the sidewalk chalk, throw frisbees, participate in a water balloon toss, and consume 100 cupcakes. It was an overall success!
