This week's teaparty involves Ham Radios - the girls are bringing Ham radios, Ham radio parts, morse code, etc. (and from what I could tell of the gallery we are bringing hams, pigs, and lots of other cool things as well). I want extra cookies because I am bringing some friends who actually know how to fix Ham radios.
This card is going to Charles who loves Ham Radios, just had surgery, needs a pick-me-up and has a wife who is a fellow teaparty gal (so he may actually get the humor on my card - yea).
My father was a big Ham radio buff so you would you think I would know a thing or two having been around them. But all I could remember is all the wires and equipment my Dad had laying around. My Dad was into flying and missiles (he worked on the launch teams for missiles during his Air Force years). When I was really young, we went to watch a lot of remote controlled airplanes fly near the beach at Patrick AFB (this was in the 1960s so they were really amazing and cutting edge back then). I hope that was a good enough story to explain why there is a remote controlled plane on my card - at least I hope I was convincing!!!

Is your OTHER job a newscaster, reporting LIVE, up to the MINUTE reports on newswothy disasters all over the globe - your professional perception and lead in line had me in stitches!!
How cool that your Dad was a Ham radio buff - you had an inside track on this week's teaparty - the REST of us are the ones who googled simultaneously and caused this Systems crash that made this RC plane go down!! What a great image to go with your byline story - your sense of humor has no equal, Nancy! This great story and your humorous card rocked the challenge this week!!
Love it, LOVE it, LOVE IT!!!! and YOU!! Hugs & more hugs!

HI Nancy,
What a funny card! And Charles loves airplanes, too, and if Google could talk it would probably say "What's up with all the ham?" Thank you for taking the time to make such a fun card.
