    Bev & Stel if there’s not enough room in Elvis I brought along the XTI Mobile Tomato Harvester and Land Cruising Resort & Casino.You too Susan. It will also strip mine potatoes and turn them into home fries or fast food fries, so we’ll have snacks on the way.

    How about if Elvis stays here at the lighthouse looking for Storm, in case she needs a ride to the farmhouse…and the rest of us head over there…

    Sure, Shika…on Ballard Street, you can eat your cake at least 3 times and still have it!

    And it has NO calories, and won’t spoil your appetite.

    Bev…

    If you click the video, you still get the message “watch this video on youtube. playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner”

    But if you RIGHT-click and select “watch video in another window,” you can do just that.

    I didn’t know Storm’s turkeys went to ballet school!

    Gosh…Elvis and I brought all the party food from the Farmhouse and set it up at the Tiki…

    That’s where everybody’s gathering in the daytime, cos some can’t go all the way out to the Ballard County coast.

    Bev sure did a nice job… it all still looks so good…and we only cut a little from the back of the cake…

    Now I have to go home and sleep.

    Rosalyn said I could leave a sign at their house….

    So….. there’s just one more thing to set up before I say goodnight:

    Good night!

    Susan….the cake is…..well… spectacular!! Definitely custom made especially for Storm ! It would be hard to find a ready-made lighthouse cake with turkeys roaming about!! Well done, indeed!

    Well, I, for one, am ready to continue to collaborate with you on invitations and cards, x_Tech!

    Well, this is a first. After many Ballard St. parties where I’ve enjoyed the BD cakes (especially Susan’s) they were after all virtual. Today what do I get? Real, stick your fork in it, cake. Not just one slice, not just one big slice! Nooo, it’s more like half a sheet cake! All packaged in 7oz containers.Now which one of you wise ac smart a jolly jok ah, clever person is going to tell me what I supposed to do with all this cake.
