The first thing I thought of too… kitty shuffleboard.

And a side benefit of it is that you can move the game around the room, and he’ll be keeping that nice wood floor polished.

The other cat is just lyin’ there, thinkin’ the Shuffle Cat is nuts to allow that……then hoping that maybe he’ll get a turn…

Great stuff!

A chilled, spicy soup is especially appealing on a hot day in August, made with sweet, ripe backyard or farmer’s market tomatoes…

not so sure about a cold, grey day in December, when the tomatoes come from the supermarket…

But heck, in a warm room it’s still good.

Speaking of great stuff… I love the comic of Stel’s house…

and the one with the signs is funny!

And, THANKS SO MUCH, NIGHTHAWKS, FOR THE TOP CARD UP ABOVE!!! As usual, Cleo’s lyin’ down on the job and making Claude and Clara do all the work! (love how their shirts are not quite long enough! LOL)

Great depiction of my house….in fact, had I known Claude and Cleo were in the neighborhood, I would have invited them in! (I think I agree with Claude…..Cleo did leave out a few “greats”…..unfortunately.)

Thanks again!

Happy Birthday, StelBel!

It’s still a couple of hours till midnight, at the moment, so Happy Birthday Eve, as well….

(If you want to stay younger a wee bit longer, I’ll let you borrow my time zone.)

….

I’ll be back shortly!

Ps… Thanks, Nighthawks, for posting my announcement, and the cake I made for Stel!

Oh, Susan……..if only time worked that way (although I was never any good in Physics…maybe it does!). I love the Rooster Card and Chicken Cake way on top of the page!!! If only it were possible (again, a Physics problem) to take them off the page, glitter and all, and display them in the house with all the other roosters and chickens around here that my Mom collected and I continue to collect. And, I see you’ve added another of my favorites: GRAPES!

Then, there’s the sun(shine) and my avatar……looks like you were able to cover ALL the bases! Thanks soooo much! I appreciate all the work that went into everything! The glitter alone takes hours and hours…………

(Hah! I just tried to give you an extra like, but WordPress would not allow it!)

For some crazy WordPress reason, or maybe it’s my fault, my replies are not landing where they should, so I’m sorry if everything seems out of sequence.

I’m having all kinds of trouble with the site, myself!

The pictures all disappeared and wouldn’t come back… then they did, after a while, when I clicked “reload” on each one…

but I couldn’t leave any likes or replies for a while.

I thought it was my internet but then I found that other sites were working.

I wuz just a-tryin’ to stuff everthin’ in there, like you said!

Remembering the days of your famous (or maybe infamous) chicken suit… and all the parties.

Thanks for years of “Ladies in Party Hats” collaboration.

Meanwhile…

I guess you need a digital picture frame!

Well, he just looks like he might be from Max’s side of the family! Max said he was going to email them all about the party!

There are some really neat special effects going on there….the sparklers and the flower bubbles! Very cool!

Thanks, Susan!

Hey, Gerard!!! Thanks so much for the card and for the good wishes, as well! And, I’m so glad you enjoy the stuff that Nighthawks and I post here! It’s so good of you to stop by tonight…especially since I know that you work so hard, you’d much prefer to be snoozing’ at that hour!

Your birthday basset is so cute, and I suppose that’s about as happy as we’ll ever see him! LOL

While I was having site problems, so I couldn’t use the Tiki kitchen, I thought I might as well try to rustle up some outside grub….

I couldn’t believe it, but neither Uber Eats or GrubHub would deliver to CleoandCompany.net!

Something about no space vehicles… or maybe that was cider space vehicles…

Or cyber?

..

Anyhow, I had to go out myself.

Pizza, anyone?

Thanks so much for your signature bunny card. It is, of course, absolutely adorable!

I’m off to bed, in the wee hours….

Good morning, if you’re just arriving….

Coffee’s on, water’s boiling for tea!

Order a StelBel’s Birthday breakfast on the house from the Tiki menu…

maybe like this one with turkey eggs, egg bread, pork bacon, and green tomato pie… or suit your own fancy…

Or visit the seafood brunch buffet….

comment image?format=1500w

(We go all out for Stel’s birthday)

or the salad bar…

… and don’t forget a nice big piece of that chicken-shaped chocolate fudge cake!

I didn’t make it just to sparkle!

See you all later…

and once again…

Happy Birthday, Stel!
