Be sure to let us know what you find in the other 4 boxes!
Did the garlic salt do a job on the fabric? I've heard you can use salt for special effects when you dye fabric - I hope your dad didn't get his own special effects ~ ~ ~

were marked, "Misc". It took us forever to find the lid to the crock pot, they'd put in box marked "grils room". lol Dh is now retired from USMC, its kinda odd to still be in the same house 16 years later.

I have a sister who packs like that. While my daughter was on bed rest her aunt packed for her - no labels on boxes, nothing packed by room just done willy-nilly. Daughter said it was an adventure unpacking.
Same sister did my mom's filing system - no rhyme or reason. I've worked in offices and done huge and complicated systems so I redid mom's recently.
Dad's you gotta love them. Mine had a weird sense of humor. I still want to call him when something happens that he would enjoy. He's been gone for 15 years now.

When my husband got a new job about 10 years ago, the company paid to move us...as we had never had such a service before I had no idea what to watch out for. Since we lived in temporary housing for over a year with everything is storage, it would have been too late for any claims by then; I think many moving company people know this. I never found my grandma's box of silverware (real antique silver). But among other things we had many dishpacks (you know about 24" square x 30-36" high)...with a layer of short items (about 3" high) then just filled with wads of paper. They were truly "padding" the bill; lucky for us the company paid it. Once we bought a house, it still took over 6 months to unpack as I tried to put everything in it's place as I unpacked. When it was over, I never found half the parts to my food processor (including the lid to make it work), & blender. What possesses people who are packers from separating things that were together on the counter. I had always hoped the parts would eventually pop up; never did. My brother was a mover for a few years & never did such things...so there good guys out there as well; you just never know.
Looooong story...but I'd rather have my relatives help me pack no matter how odd the arrangements...at least you know you still got it all.
Great job dad...good attitude daughter!

What an odd assortment of objects to find together in the same box. Couldn't help but think about the TV show I watched last night about the guys that buy storage lockers and have no clue what could be lurking in the boxes!
