Today the tea potters are making cards for Charles in NY who has been diagnosed with cancer. With all Charles has had to endure in the last several years, I think he is like a Ford, yep, Ford tough. (I like saying since my current ride is a Ford truck) I didn't know much about ham radio so I googled some of their lingo to make banners coming out of the bed of the truck. The #73 is best wishes in ham radio "talk". Wishing you the very best, Charles.
I hope Google was right and Charles doesn't think I thought he was age 73. That would be just my luck.

Built Ford Tough! Hey Girlfriend, you certainly created a wonderful and awesome card - and love the silver behiind the truck and your banners. Your truck is colored beautifully and it's cool that you found that 73 is "best wishes". Charles will love this awesome card.

Since I'm a FORD truck owner, I really like this card! I love the colors, with the foil looking almost blue! I'm glad you explained the 73, makes better sense now! Charles will love this colorful truck!

This is a really cute card. I love the Ford since we have one too! I like the orange gingham and the coloring is great. Great idea for the banners and I never would have known about the 73. Good to see you in the gallery. You must be feeling a little better.
