"Shh! Keep quiet."

"Why? It's not like she can hear us."

"I dunno. It's meant to be a surprise, and that kind of translates as needing to be quiet, guess." ::shrug::

"Quit it you two. Just leave the goodies here."

"Do you think the cake will be okay? I mean not everyone can eat cake - health concerns, allergies and stuff."

"It'll be fine. It's the thought that counts. Plus she has family and friends to share with."

"And there are plenty of other snacks in the basket."

"Should we light the candles?"

::halfhearted shove::

"We don't know how long it will be before she finds it, dopey!"

"Leave the candles unlit. No fire hazards in this surprise."

"Did everyone sign the card?"

::nods from all::

"What about the present?"

"Inside the card. Gift certificates for art supplies, beading supplies and yarn store."

"And my recording."

"Gordon, no-one needs to hear you sing the Birthday song in five different languages."

"But, yes, that's in there too."

A very happy birthday to you Nutty! (I really hope I have the day right!!)

Oh, wow! ::tackle hugs you to the ground::

Yes, it is indeed one day after Gordo's birthday and exactly six months before Virgil's, so it is NUTTY DAY!

I love this! You are so kind to me ::tackle hugs you some more::

And Gordy, bday buddy, you can sing all you like :D

And yes, I read the green lines a few extra times cos they are green :D

::hugs you silly::

Nutty
