Here's the story behind the card. I needed to make a retirement card for my Mom who just retired from 30+ years of teaching aerobics. I needed something witty or a funny poem to go with the card. I was drawing a blank on a single liner so I PM'd my friend Mothermark and asked her to write a poem for my Mom. I gave Cindy some background info and this is the poem she wrote:
(FYI: My Mom owned her own business named Dynamic Aerobics)
Your direction in life started out one day
with a work out session at the YMCA.
Then came the idea of Dynamic Aerobics.
Earn a living, have fun, still get your kicks!
You started out with a kick ball change,
Ended up at the Club, by a driving range.
Your work out routine is the best in town
But it's time to stop, take a rest, cool down.
Have fun, be a grandma, volunteer a bunch!
Relax, read a book, with friends go to lunch.
And even though you get senior citizen rates.
Better get back home and pick up those weights!
-Cindy Motherway
I think Cindy's poem just makes the card!
