Balloons

My good friend, Judy, celebrates another birthday today. Like the rest of us, she is surprised how high the number is that she has now become. In honor of her birthday, I share this card with you. It’s a fairly simple card with birthday wishes and balloons. Speaking of balloons, did you know that balloons were first introduced by a priest in 1709, more than 300 years ago. Balloons are great to use to celebrate birthdays, but the simple balloon has many agendas. Balloons are now used in medicine, weather satellites, espionage, advertising, research, and tires, just to name a few. For today, its use is just plain fun. Happy Birthday Judy!!!
