I don't expect my guests to help me clean up either! It's just something
that she said to me out of the blue that I was impressed by...

It was no big deal anyway for me to do a quick cleanup as I clean as I
cook so the kitchen is clean when I serve. All I have to clean are the
plates, glasses and flatware we use which takes maybe 5 minutes.

The last party I attended, I DID help clean up! I helped to put the
buffet stuff away (it was a new years party with a table full of
appetizers) and I washed dishes.

I've known that couple for years. Paul and his husband Rodney are very
good friends. One of the most wonderful couples it's been my joy to
know. I felt perfectly comfortable helping clean up and we were also
spending the night so it made sense. <G>

One of my best female friends wedding receptions, I was a bit bored so I
found her mom and helped her finish setting up the buffet items too. <G>
I find doing stuff like that to be fun!
