In Iowa! Activities include unpacking Bob's U-haul and Thanksgiving dinner. [Big Grin]

Highlight: dkw's cornbread stuffing.

Y'all do realize that our family events are pretty much automatically Hatrack gatherings now, right? [Razz]

Um. I was going to try chestnut stuffing this year. Is this a problem?

Hmmmm. I really like the cornbread stuffing.

But I suppose I can be flexible. What's for dessert? You making that pumpkin cheesecake again? Or would you like me to bring something? It would involve pears.

Yep, he's renting a house across town. Across town, of course, means what, 4 blocks away?

I think he might have wanted to spill that secret himself, though. [Big Grin]

Ooops.

Um, but you kinda mentioned it in the sonnet thread, too, what with talk about "moving up here in seven days or I'm flying down to get you." So I don't feel too bad.

But Bob, sorry if I spoiled your fun.

"Spoiling Bob's Fun" would be a good band name.

You really should tell me these things. I honestly thought it had been mentioned already.

I could delete, and only a few people would know?

*shrug* Okay. But I hate to ruin a good set-up. And I really doubt more than 5-7 people have been in here.

Saw it. I'll pretend to be surprised, if you want to go ahead and delete it, though.

Everyone who raises their hand is volunteering to be a Spoiling Bob's Fun groupie once we get it started!

Or someone could start a thread titled "Bob's moving to Iowa next week - Eljay spilled the beans"

You bring dessert. I might not have time, what with flying down to Texas to drag Bob back and all.

I notice that none of the people who are staring at those spilled beans are offering anything in the way of help with unloading various U-Hauls.

Ah well...

Have I mentioned that I HATE to move.

But...the prospect of having dkw down here to drag me away sounds like fun.

And of course the entire "W" clan will be there rummaging through my...um, I mean helping me unpack...

*giggle* Poor Bob. We pity you, really we do. If only you weren't so darn happy.

Hmmmm. I believe we are helping you unload. As far as helping you unpack, I could be bribed into doing the kitchen or perhaps the office. I do not care to rummage throu... um, unpack anything else. [Razz]

But I specialize at pre-move-in cleaning.
