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.)
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.
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
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a very special friend of the entire C&C Family! Stel, you just bring so much joy to this entire group. It is an honor to call you “FRIEND”. Lots of love! xoxo Rita
Aw….Rita…..you are so sweet and extra-special! And, you always say the sweetest things. We are family here, are we not? Thanks so much for the birthday wishes!!
Stel Bel!! Thank you for making all our days a little brighter! And all of us a little better fed (urp … ‘scuse me)!
Happy Birthday and many, many more.
Aw….happyhappyhappy…….I thought you knew that since it’s an impossibility that we could all be on the same schedule, these parties go on for 24 hours. You could never be late!!
Thanks so much for your signature bunny card. It is, of course, absolutely adorable!
Stel, you treat us every day here, but alas, after a long day at work I’ve not much left to repay you. I’ll just wish you the best BIRTHDAY ever and leave the fancy graphics to your clever Clio family.
Never fret that you that you’re unable to post the “fancy” stuff….for whatever reason! The fact that you stopped by when you’re so done in is so appreciated!! Thanks so much, P5Strega !!!
Shuffle Cat! Needs scoring targets.
LOL
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…
Gazpacho
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!
I’ve never had it. Someday. 🙂
Make a real effort this coming year, happy! You will really like it if you like veggies.
I really love gazpacho….any time of year!!
Now, that cat knows how to celebrate!
Look at that little guy, runnin’ away with MY balloon!! Come back!
(Thanks, Nighthawks! He’s so cute, I can’t be mad at him!)
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!
BTW, Nighthawks…..thanks for posting my favorite birthday song!!!! You just can’t beat the Beatles!!
WOW!!….JP STEVE….what a well done and nicely designed card! You always choose the nicest fonts and the BEST accompanying pictures! (ahem)
Thanks you! I just LOVE it!!
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!
Happy Birthday Stel! Thanks for all you do.

I’m wavin’! I’m wavin’! Thanks, Dennis! That is so cute!
Stel, statistics show that those who have the most birthdays, live the longest.
Let’s keep her around.
Ok…..well, I’ll do my best to win that contest! Thanks!
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!!!

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.
Gawrsh…. blush…. thanks, Stel…
T’warn’t nutthin.
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!
A digital picture frame……that’s a great idea!!
Oh… And …
I recognize that moppet!
Me, too!
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!
I sent them an invitation myself!
I got the address from Max so I thought it might not be right…. but I guess it worked!
Thanks for doing that, Susan!
STELBEL, Lots More B-Days with Happiness and Health. Thanks for the beautiful work you do!
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
Happy Birthday Stelbel!
Well done, Arf!
Only if Stel Bel wins the prize of the downtown Cleveland bus tour!
I didn’t see your reply, ML (it helps to refresh). Still, fingers crossed: Please let it be Paris!!
So! Do we have a budding screenwriter here? Arfside, that was a great adaptation of the strip! Well done! Well done, indeed! I love it!
And, thank you so much for the birthday greeting (oh, how i wish it would be Paris…..)and for stopping by….tonight especially and everyday, as well!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a very special friend of the entire C&C Family! Stel, you just bring so much joy to this entire group. It is an honor to call you “FRIEND”. Lots of love! xoxo Rita
Aw….Rita…..you are so sweet and extra-special! And, you always say the sweetest things. We are family here, are we not? Thanks so much for the birthday wishes!!
♥♥ love always,
Candi
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?
Really? More?
Well… whatever you guys want…
This is from a French restaurant in Japan!
See the lengths I’ll go to, just to get you guys a special treat?
ALL that food looks great, Susan…..you did an amazing job, considering all the glitches that you’ve experienced! Well done!
Happy Birthday, StelBel!
And here’s from another stepmother of Schneewittchen (Snow White), performing a song of Hildegard Knef.
Here’s for you the German Godmother of Punk herself!
(hug)
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes AND the roses rain shower! (what a nice sentiment!)
And, to echo Nighthawks, unfortunately that video that you posted is unavailable here.
Thanks, again!
(hug back)
Maybe the other URL I’ve added above works for you?
Nina Hagen “Für mich soll’s rote Rosen regnen” from her Album “Irgendwo auf der Welt”
this video is unavailable around here
The second link worked for me.
Stel Bel!! Thank you for making all our days a little brighter! And all of us a little better fed (urp … ‘scuse me)!
Happy Birthday and many, many more.
Thank you very much, LM!!! And, we can both thank Susan for not giving up her search for the best party food available!
And, btw, you all make my days brighter, as well!
I missed a bunch of party again, dang it. 🙂
I’l dive into it more later this morning. 🙂
Aw….happyhappyhappy…….I thought you knew that since it’s an impossibility that we could all be on the same schedule, these parties go on for 24 hours. You could never be late!!
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….
(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!
Ah….more food! Gosh, it looks so good and I’m starving! Where’d you put the plates, Susan………..?
HAPS BIRFDAY STEL!!
.

(((((HUGZ))))) ALL AROUND
I know this doesn’t have anything to do with anything.
except I love pancakes
I love pancakes, too……bring ’em on!
Plods…..that looks scrumptious!!! I so love raspberries! Thanks so much and (((HUGZ)))) ) RIGHT BACK ATCHYA!

Thank you, Dorothea! I’m so glad you stopped by! It’s been a wonderful day!!
