This birthday greeting for Annmuma is a cool poem that tracks Ann's ups and downs these eighty years. I wish to live to one hundred as well, but may have to settle for just under.

Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi. A well written tribute to Ann. You always do a good job with these. I don't see how you make details poetic, but you have a knack for it. I enjoyed learning about Ann, her family, and plans. Well done.

Congratulations, Ann, on your eightieth birthday. It was interesting reading about you and your family, as well as your interests. I am glad you have your grandkids and your watchdog to help out.

You have had an admirable career and you must be very proud of that. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. It sounds like it is very well deserved. Best wishes for your birthday.

Thank you for introducing me to yet another fanstorian. It must take you a long time to research and then write a long beautiful poem. Where do you find the time? Well done my friend.

Hi Debi,
Another fine birthday poem! I've never run across Annmuma. She's been a member of Fanstory since 2007. I joined in 2010, yet our paths never crossed. I will rectify that ASAP. She's had a lot of heartache, losing two husbands. But it sounds like Ann enjoys her grandkids, and her insurance agency. She has earned a good retirement now at 80 years young! She worked 10 years longer than me!
I especially liked your "interlude" lines,
"But thankfully she is a Gran; Five grandkids brightened days for Ann"
"She has another caring man, her brother, John, is there for Ann"
"Off to casino when she can; An outing that is fun for Ann"
"At FanStory, I am her fan, I treasure my friendship with Ann"
These break up the poem nicely.
Thanks for introducing this young-at-heart lady.
Hugs,
Kimbob
