Well folks, today is my 73rd birthday. I also retire from the jewelry business after over 50 years. I have been at Either-Ore Jewelers for the past 38 years since it opened.
I am throwing a BIG party for all the ladies who have worked with me today. There will be 25 people here. Lots of great food, beverages, and old stories. Looking forward to not having to go to work at 6AM tomorrow.
I have surgery on the 31st to remove a neuroendicrine tumor at the tip of my pancreas. Not a big deal and no long recuperation. After that, the new shop will get finished up and I'll be going strong by summer. I have soooo many knives ready to go.
 
Awesome to hear, congratulations on the retirement. Happy birthday and hope all goes well on your surgery
 
Congrats on your early retirement 😳, and wishing you many more healthy years to come.
 
Hey Stacy, congrats! Good luck in the surgery front! We look forward to seeing your work when you get back up and running!

That's a whole lot of Awesome!!!
You deserve it
 
Congrats and Happy Birthday, Stacy!

And best wishes for a quick post-op recovery.
 
Congratulations!
Retirement from a job is a good thing. It gives us time to do the work we really want to do.
 
Congratulations! Not that I'm counting but 43 days here also. Looking forward to time in the knife shop.
 
Happy Birthday Stacy and congrats on the retirement! I hope the surgery goes well and we are looking forward to seeing more knives from you this summer!
