D called to talk to her Dad while we were sitting at the table....she was talking loudly enought that I could hear a lot of what she said, but I played dumb and kept reading the paper.... she was talking to H about my brother wanting to do a surprise party for my b-day at the lake, and who should be invited besides family....H said he would need to give it some thought and it might take him a few weeks. when they hung up, I asked H what was going on and he said D was asking about S going to visit her H (true) and "Part of it is secret" and he looked smuggly happy/pleased with himself. the interesting thing to me is he was receptive to D's idea, mention of a party, even sounded kind of happy about it....My birthday is not until the end of September....I would think he would be hedging/avoiding if he was planning to leave for OW.
