First, Congrats to Lesley and Audrey winners of the A-Card-A-Me Awards and Punchkateer Extraordinaires - A big RYPH to you both.
Now to the card. Poor Little Jack Horner is sports challenged and the teaparty gals are trying to help out. I can see that we are helping plenty which makes me feel good since I am no help at all! See, I am sports challenged as well. In high school PE, I caught the football once and ran my hardest! I stopped when I saw my PE coach on the ground in a fetal position with tears running down her face. I thought she was dying so I stopped. Turns out she was laughing so hard she thought she was going to die - I was about to make a touchdown for the other team (got a bit mixed up on my direction...). Back to the story.... this tea party involves avoiding noodles and poodles and producing oodles of cards for Bobby Riddle. Bobby was burning some leaves and was seriously injured - over 65% of his body was burned. He has a long road to recovery.
Back to high school. I had a boyfriend who got together with some friends and decided they wanted to see if they could make a bomb. They were some seriously smart boys so they actually suceeded. Unfortunately, they were too close to it when it detonated and they were hurt really, really bad. My boyfriend (was really my ex when this happened but we were super good friends), was burned almost as bad as Bobby and it damaged his eyes so he is blind now. He has gone on to do really awesome things in life (way more awesome than anything I have done). So that is my wish for Bobby.
Also, if you are still with me after all my babbling, I did balloons because Bobby lives in New Mexico where balloons are plentiful. Ballooning is sport - seriously. I actually was on a balloon team for a little while when I lived in New Mexico - it was awesome (I mainly helped fold the balloon but I got to be in the basket free many times so it was worth it).
