Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 21, 2016

Here is the party table! There is room for everybody.

Yeah, it does look like Madame B has been tailgating at the Royals games

Yay!

The party table is to the right of the Fortune Telling Tent! We have a selection of Tail Gate Food.Magical Mushroom Deviled Eggs

Bacon and Cheese Bites

Here’s the food table on the other side of the tent.

Cold Shrimp

Smoked Salmon and Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes

Chicken and Waffle Sliders

As Always a selection of Cocktails

Beer and Wine

Wow… this is making me hungry!

Where’s Ms. Beviek?

You have to try these…..jIf You Dare!

Maybe bev would lighter beer while she tailgates.

Phew, this just came out of the oven. I don’t cook as fast as Bev!!!

Ooooh Bev!

Hi… and Happy Birthday!

Are you ready for cake, or do you want to get some food first?

The shrimp are divine, BTW.

Stel… if I didn’t say so, the invitation looks wonderful.X.. can I tailgate without actually… you know…going to a baseball game?

Happy Birthday Dear Friend. Hugs and Wishes!

One of your… say what?

I s’pose if I found you a Minnie Mouse card, you’d think I was Minnie Mouse!

Cake Time?

Here they are again, sending the same ol’ card….will someone please tell these girls that it’s 2016 …….NOT 1916?

Bev… I have a little present for you…just something to wear to your next Royals game…

Yes… the food is fantastic.Salmon and shrimp always grab my attention.

BevThese are my gift for you, I started baking these at 5am!

Got my bucket and fork, guess I’ll wander over to the chow line.

StelThat is the most beautiful invitation I’ve ever seen! Gorgeous!

Well, I turned on the special XTI glitter…so now I have to bring out the cake… ready or not!

bev… can I also skip the… you know…the listening part?

Cake on the way…….5

Susan!!!Good Heavens! I’ve never seen anything like the cake!Its amazing and wonderful and and and amazing!!!

Stel, I barely got past the invitation, it is dazzling.

You sure those magic mushrooms are just eggs? cause I tried a couple.

Hey Dennis Grab a plate!

sherrUf, this party is slowing down, time to start the nanner daqs:

Bev Happy Birthday from the Cats at Ten Cats. Woof,Chesney,Jack,Mr. Hollingsworth,Oliver,Jellybean,ThisSideUp,Lily and Bluebell

Don’t tell!

Bev Will You Just Cut The Cake! I can’t stand it!!!

Rose, I hate to say this but you left out Route 9. I’m sure this was just an oversight but…

Boy, the comments are piling up fast and furious today. Only 2:20 AM EST and already 73!Happy Day, bev. Celebrate in style.

Ted is risking disqualification from the club for wearing wing tips to the meeting and carrying the grown-up equivalent of a sippy cup.

Bev… you’re very welcome.

Actually all the cards are both…they’re part of a set of baseball tarot cards.

As for the “font” that’s just lettering I made up as I drew it…in frosting, of course.

I had a problem with the glitter…. You have to um…heat set it… that’s it…heat set it…and the cake kept getting smaller.

Stelbel knows how that works.It’s new… the cakes never used to shrink.If you want to see this one before all the candles and glitter…but with a lot more detail…just right click the mini cake below, and click “open in a new window.”

Fats says you’ve got some crazy little women there in Kansas City – that you, Bev?

Fats Domino

I’m going to take some shrimp and a slice of cake and a blue cocktail and go to bed. Anyone wanna bet I don’t sleep after that!I was so happy to cook for you Bev, and so happy I don’t have to do it every time! I have a new appreciation for you now. LOL

What a clever idea Susan. Who but you would have thought of tortilla chips to “dip” the cake.

and, more from the Ballard Cows…..

Susan, I love the eyes in the peacock feathers. Or is that just me? Whooah…

Thank you, Rose, for making a wonderful feast, in a beautiful setting!G’night!

Stel… wow, I’m impressed with all your presents for Bev.Beautiful cards, too.I got her… um… shoes.

When Baseball season is over Madame Beviek works the college circuit.

Gee thanks, x_Tech.Hmmph.

Oh those mushrooms…

G’night Bev! I’m on my way to….This is how I feel right now:

Oh, and Bev…………safe travels and enjoy your family visit!

Good night, everybody! and, sweet dreams to you all!

Wait… Bev!!

I forgot to give you your traveling shoes!

Happy Birthday!

G’night Bev!!Happy Travels!

G’night Stel…you did a wonderful job!

Goodnight Bev

Ted and Sandy look more like they’re going to a Club Club.Susan, that cake looks like a coyote! Especially when scrolling up the screen.

The meeting’s probably indoors.

Gee thanks, Coyoty….

First Dennis made me see eyes in the feathers,,,and now you made me see a coyote instead!

Or at least some sort of doglike creature…. could even be a dingo.

I just did a quick scribble on the picture so I could ask…is this more or less the coyote you see?

He seems to be sitting somewhat vaguely cross-legged, wearing a rather exotic silky outfit, with wide loose pants and Happy Birthday on the chest…like some wise old birthday guru.

LOL

Ok, everybody… forget you ever saw this…I’m obviously WAAAY too tired.

And you can’t join this club without a club.

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, BEV !!

Happy birthday, Bev! I brought scramble egg whites with cheese. By the way, we need more shrimp.. I just had the last of it. And bacon, lots of bacon.

Happy Birthday, Bev!

In case there isn’t enough cake, I brought an extra one:

And some cookies:

And of course a birthday present for the party girl:

Susan, that’s pretty much what I saw.

For an more impressive and mind-boggling proof of the existence of God’s Dog, check out the Versailles Chapel Coyote:
