Happy Birthday 2Old!

Happy Birthday, 2old!!

Are we gonna have a roomful of drunken pugs?

Not sure what the Monkey will say!

Meanwhile… Fireman… thanks!

Do you think you could help me clear a little space for the cake?

OK… it’s a pretty big cake…..

Click it if you’d like to see it a bit larger….

Hey, 2old! Happy blinking birthday!!

Thanks Bev…I wanted to frost it to go with Stel’s invitation…hope it does!

Stel and Bev… glad you think it all goes together!

I guess you were surprised, Stel?

LOL….

BTW… I do not want to know WHY that chicken is wearing inflatable rubber pants!

WOW!!!! StelThe invitation is beautiful,* Bev*, I love stroganoff, I make it all the time, and finally Creme Brulee is my FAVCORITE dessert!Susan I actually teared up when I saw the cake. It is your most beautiful creation to date. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.JP thanks for the wishes! Our birthday’s are pretty close.Stel and Mel Thank you as well and I would never go to any other agency! lol

Say, Stel… should I go put up the invitation at 10 Cats?Just in case 2Old stops there first?

Oooh Bev… those yak kabobs are great!

Good night everybody! I’m going to sneak away for a little shut-eye. I know the party will still be going strong all day, so I’ll be back!

Susan! I cut a small piece of cake out of the back…..hardly noticeable! (I think.)Bev! I’m glad you provided those really big plates. I’ve got a little sample of everything…..

G’night!!

I’ll have a glass (or three) of Pinot Grigio Fireman please, and put everybody’s drink on my tab tonite.I have the bestest friends ever.(I have not been drinking, yet, but I just noticed there are a couple of misspellings in the above post, I need my nails done, they are too long and get caught in the keys, I’ll call tomorrow for an appt, Susan.

2Old!

You are NOT paying for everybody’s drinks!

It’s your birthday!

I’ll be right back…I gotta go… um… talk to some kitties….and ask whether I can put something on their wall….

Oh… and really glad you like the cake!

G’night, Stel!

First of all, the comic is great today – I’ve been by that house. --HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2old – now another year older. Hope your day is special and fun. The invitation and cake are spectacular. Lots of great looking food and even a banana split – WOW The cake is huge. It says to click to make it larger but I think it is big enough. Have a great day!!

WOW hope it was as great as the wonderful wishes you got 2 Old!!!

Happy Birthday to you 2old, getting younger! I wish you a wonderful day today and so should be all your other days! Hope there is room for another cake.

It turns out I have to go someplace today….. Probably won’t be home till after the turn…So, if I’m too late to say it before that…..Have a wonderful day, 2Old….
