I dunno, Susan…..Nighthawks’ food really doesn’t look too bad at all for a breakfast buffet…maybe because the bacon sure looks good! (and, maybe because I just woke up and I’m kinda hungry!)
Hey, Nighthawks! Cleo’s droppin’ the ball (or her end of the birthday sign, I should say), but she’s got her second wind and now, I see Claude and Cleo walkin’ by the ol’ homestead! They ARE goin’ to be stoppin’ by for the party, I hope! Even Maxy’s spirit is ready for a good time!!!
Oh wow. I have hit early upon the birthday celebrations for Stel Bel! So many words will be typed, and wonderful images posted. The essential thing to say is: Happy Birthday.
What caught my eye was the image of Max Girouard in a window in Stel’s house. I can’t remember if he was there the last time we saw this comic. But if he has been added since, good on ya!
STOP RUNNING with my beautiful cake!!!! Ooooh…..how I love grapes! That is just stunning! Susan, you just outdo yourself every year! Thank you for all the thought and effort you put into the party and especially the cake…..the CAKE……the MASTERPIECE!!!
WOW!! What a treasure you found, Susan! Like a lot of others, I never knew this song existed…thought the Archies version was the only one! This was just excellent! Thank you!
Love these two evil queen cakes, Tigressy!! Hard to believe the top bust is an actual cake! A lot of work went into it, I’m sure! It’d be a shame to cut into it!!
a tasty birthday buffet for all!
Help yourself, Nighthawks!
All the meats!

I know you get up early…. but one am???
I made the early effort just for my friends out west! But, I’m not going to last long….the eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.
Hey, Nighthawks! Cleo’s droppin’ the ball (or her end of the birthday sign, I should say), but she’s got her second wind and now, I see Claude and Cleo walkin’ by the ol’ homestead! They ARE goin’ to be stoppin’ by for the party, I hope! Even Maxy’s spirit is ready for a good time!!!
Great song selection tonight, if I do say so!
and a basset cake!
Aw, who could cut into that!
I agree, Dennis! What an AWESOME basset cake!!!
and since it’s gazpacho day anyway…..perfect for a cold day
It’s gazpacho day??? Really??? That’s usually a hot weather soup!
I’ll bet Nighthawks added some habaneros just for you. {^¿^}
Just because it’s cold soup it doesn’t mean that it can’t be hot.
So true!
Susan, I love the fruit girl image!! Very cool!
And, gee, thanks, Nighthawks….
But if anybody would like something a little more appetizing… there’s loads of food on the way!
An appetizer buffet….
And there’s a pizza table….
And more coming, especially for StelBel….
From a French restaurant at the Hyatt in Tokyo!
and a salad bar
But don’t spoil your appetite for the carving bar
And all the accompaniments…
And if you’d rather have (or also have) seafood….
We aim to please, around here!
It looks like we’ve hit the mother lode.
Indeed!
I WAS hungry, but not anymore! There’s soooo much food here, it’s impossible to sample everything! WOW!!!!
Happy Birthday Stel!
Thanks, Dennis! I haven’t heard that song in ages!!!
I’ll be back… with the cake and more…
Meanwhile… Happy Birthday, StelBel… just in case you get here before that!
Thanks, Susan!
Hwy Cleo, wake up and hold up your end!
Happy Birthday StelBel! As far as food, Susan has left nothing out, except

Hah! I couldn’t imagine what was left out.
But……of course!
Nighthawks left out this one:
well, I’m always leaving something out
You just keep everyone on their toes!

Thanks, LM!!! Yep, Ol’ Maxy was there before….ever faithful in the real AND spirit world! Still miss him like crazy!,
Since it’s 1:30 am on the East Coast, I’m headed back to bed. I’ll meet up with you all in the morning! Party on and Nitey night!
Oh! I just came back to post the cake!
I didn’t think you’d be here…. but since you are… did you leave?
sigh….
STE..EL…L !!!
Rats! I can’t run very fast with a huge cake… especially with lit candles on it…..
Phew…..
But here it is….
STOP RUNNING with my beautiful cake!!!! Ooooh…..how I love grapes! That is just stunning! Susan, you just outdo yourself every year! Thank you for all the thought and effort you put into the party and especially the cake…..the CAKE……the MASTERPIECE!!!
Happy Birthday StelBel! Hope it sees you on the mend!
Well, actually they sneak up on me! I’m NEVER prepared to get another year older, and yet these birthdays force me to do it anyway.
Thanks, Arfside! Love the Ballard St. take on things!!
If you’re doing “Candi” or “Candy” songs… in spite of the fact that it doesn’t have that word in the title….
You can’t leave out this one:
…
…
And yes, I know this was a cover, and the original was by the Archies.
But the Archies were… well.. fictional, made up of cartoon characters.
Now, I love cartoon characters as much as the next person…
But I’m afraid Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica… oh, and I think Reggie, too… couldn’t really sing or play instruments.
The actual music was performed by session musicians.
…
There is no way Wilson Pickett could not improve on that, especially since Wilson Pickett could improve on lots of music.
He had a big hit with it too.
WOW!! What a treasure you found, Susan! Like a lot of others, I never knew this song existed…thought the Archies version was the only one! This was just excellent! Thank you!
Definitely a better version than The Archies!
Love it!
GREAT!!!
Love these two evil queen cakes, Tigressy!! Hard to believe the top bust is an actual cake! A lot of work went into it, I’m sure! It’d be a shame to cut into it!!
Thanks!!!
It is Saint Nicholas Day today…
…but better pass on those apples!
No way am I going to take a bite of that apple!!!
Have the happiest of birthdays, StelBel.
Thanks so much, Dorothea!
