Happy Birthday Card Using Conie Fong Tori The Dragon - Up

Hello friends!   I hope you are doing well.  We just got home from a 17 day road trip last week!  My husband did all the driving (almost 5,000 miles); but sitting that many days in a car is hard work.  LOL!  I was determined to see my family; because we had not seen most of them in at least 6 yrs or more.  I am happy we went; but I got COVID for the last few days of the trip.  My tests were negative while on the road; but I tested again when I got home and it was positive.  I have tested negative twice now.  That makes twice this year to have COVID; after avoiding it for 5 yrs.   

I was just starting to get my taste and smell back when I lost it again on the 2nd or 3rd day that I was sick.  I don't think anyone realizes they have COVID anymore; because most people think it is just a cold.  I wore a mask except for eating and we were only in the hotels to sleep.  I am glad that I got it after we had visited with all of our family.  I was able to meet my great grandson who will be one year old this month.  It was such a blessing to see so many people in one trip.  

I created this card for my great-grandson using Conie Fong Tori the Dragon - Up; which has 2 images with it on Etsy.  It is one of my favorites and I thought he might enjoy this little guy.  His dad loved dinosaurs when he was younger; so maybe I can get his son to love dragons.  Lol!

Inside Card

It says "Happy 1st Birthday"; but it is cursive; so it is hard to read.
