I was cleaning out my email today (yeah, it seems like I do this a lot) and came across a document that my former coworkers Pat and Amy had made for me. We worked in a really tough department, Executive Customer Service, but we managed to suffer through and become close friends. We shared each other's lives and helped each other as only true friends can. My birthday was coming up, and this is what they did for me that year: gave me a birthday week of poems and treats! I only wish that the colors and font had shown up!! I had forgotten all about this, but I'm glad I found it. Patty-Cake and Amy: I still love you 💛💛💖💖 Thanks for the memories.
RITA'S BIRTHDAY
Monday – November 18, 2013
If love and appreciation is what you seek,
We’d like to welcome you to your birthday week!
Instead of a week filled with compromises
We’ve filled your week with fun surprises!
Although each gift may be small and sweet
It has all been designed as a special treat!
No girls needing things, no “hey can you spot me twenty?”
If anyone deserves spoiling, it is you, and plenty!
So sit back and relax, sweet Rita dear,
Through God’s great grace, we celebrate another year!
So what shall we start with? Should we take a lookie?
Whoo-hoo! It is some of your favorite cookies!
Enjoy with love!
Pat & Amy

It’s Tuesday my friend and that usually brings tears
Sometimes we need help to battle those fears.
Here’s just the thing to help with the task!
No, it’s not a vacation and it isn’t a flask…
We’re sorry to say that it is not made by the Swiss
It isn’t Godiva…but on our budget: Bliss
We love you the same, and we hope it’s a hit
Your very own bags of some dark chocolate!
Happy Birthday Day Two, and this week is for you!
It couldn’t be one bag…why that just wouldn’t do!
Here is the thing, and we don’t even care
They’re for you to enjoy and you don’t have to share!
Blissfully yours,
Pat & Amy
RITA’S
BIRTHDAY
Wednesday- November 20, 2013
We are half-way through, this week about you
And your birthday is just in one day!
Today’s special treat…big surprise…you can eat!
But it is one of your favorite things!
What is soft and chewy and round…
But not so good for avoiding the pounds?
Through the magic of birthdays, calories don’t count
So enjoy your bagel and don’t you pout!
Not just a bagel…but of course there is more!
Because many a hijinks and hullabaloo is in store!
What is sweet and dark…yet delicious and true?
(Well, of course, besides the obvious…you)
One of your favorites, straight here from Dunks!
A medium dark-chocolate hot chocolate in your cup!
Enjoy the sweetness our sweet!
Pat & Amy
Thursday – November 21, 2013
Today is the day that we celebrate Rita!
When we think of lovely ladies, no one could be sweeta!
There are so many people you touch with your heart
Couldn’t name them all…wouldn’t know where to start.
Amy’s not here, surely there’ll be no bad prose
But she plans ahead…you should know she’s a pro
Just like an actress, a poet or president
Today’s lunch special honors a State Farm resident
Mark has put together some of your favorite things
Mixed them up in a salad tossed with a zing!
Not everyone gets such great recognition
With that air of authority, you’ve forced our position.
So Rita, sit back and enjoy all the fuss
With this gift certificate, your lunch is on us!
Tastefully Yours,
Pat & Amy
Friday – November 22, 2013
The week has now finally come to an end
We have loved spoiling one of our dearest friends
Whenever you’re sad or blue or just down
Remember this week and toss out that frown
We love you Rita...even your irrational fears
We’ve uncovered a lot of them over the years
We think you are perfect, just as you are
Our team shines brightly…you’re one of our stars!
Some things are harder to find than others
Good honest people and hard-working mothers
You are not only those, but oh-so-much more
We wish you blessings with sweet surprises in store
Here are some last minute things and we hope they’re a hit
Some cherry life-savers and your fave: Alpha-Bits!
Happy Birthday Week! We L-O-V-E you!
Pat & Amy
Rita,
You do such a great job of giving freely from your
heart every day of the year. We both wanted you to
know just how special you are to us, and how much
we really do appreciate and love you. Never
underestimate the value of yourself to us because
you are truly dear to our hearts; it is hard to put into
words.
Wishing you birthday wishes the whole year through.
Love Pat & Amy
