Thinking of You With Pink Flowers

Hello Friends!  What are you doing this summer?  We made a 17 day road trip to MO and several other states in April, trying to beat the heat.  It ended up being 95 in Wichita, KS the day we were there and 29 was the low near Denver, CO the same night.  Quite a difference in temperatures for sure.  I ended up getting COVID for the 2nd time this year; so I was sick for 6 days of our trip.  I wore a mask everywhere except when I ate.    

I enjoyed visiting many of our family members that we had not seen in 6-7 yrs.  It is difficult for me to travel being allergic to smells; especially cleaning supplies.   I have to call every hotel in advance to find out what laundry detergent they use and whether or not they have air fresheners in their lobbies, halls and rooms.  It is quite an ordeal for me before I can even make a reservation.  I am also allergic to chorine smell; so I have to be at least two floors above the pool and away from the elevator.  

My husband does all the driving; and we get there quicker with him driving.  Lol!  We managed to see a lot of fun tourist spots.  I would love to be able to travel more; but it takes me a month to recover from the trip and get clothing aired out before I can wash it.  I still have to wash everything 3 times before drying them; or the cleaning smells are still there from the hotels.

I am sharing another one of my cards that I created using this fabulous digital paper and digital card fronts from Anne Constantly Carding.  The link is above the photo.  I created about 26 or more cards so far using this gorgeous floral paper; with no duplicates.
