My DH and I had professional movers do stuff like that. They packed my live African Violet and a bag of garbage ! Needless to say, the bag of garbage was really ripe by the time it was unpacked. UGH

What a funny story! I've lived in the same house for 38 years so no recent packing experience but I'm sure it's good to have a sense of humor (and a very special, helpful dad)! We'll all anxious to hear what's in the last boxes :lol

Today, I decided to go through the boxes that dad had packed. I knew I was missing a bunch of FQ's, but didn't realize just how many there were. I opened up one box and found almost 200! :lol: Along with those FQ's were miscellaneous scraps of all sizes. I also found 3 spools of thread, my tweezers for my serger, a container of garlic salt with no lid, 2 packages of cat food, the missing place settings for my silverware, a remote for a TV that I sold before I moved, a tube of chap stick, a pad of erasable typing paper (for pp'ing), 2 cat toys and her brush, a can of green beans, two unopened and warm cans of beer and a partridge in a pear tree.
:wink: I still have 4 more boxes of fabric that dad packed to go. This is almost like buying the FQ's all over again. Now I need MORE shelving. :shock:

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!

It is tired and I am late. No, I am tired and it is late. Sweet dreams everyone!

When the door of one of the storage units was rolled up, a huge, 3 ft tall white polar teddy bear appeared. So, the auctioneer asked for a bid of a dollar to start the bidding. The little boy held up his hand with the forefinger pointed up, definitely a bid!
We all looked at each other and nobody would bid against the kid. The kid went home happily with his giant polar bear after paying the auctioneer with a dollar his dad gave him.

and DH parents after they all passed away. But for Christmas this year I am going to make a memory quilt for each of my children, using pic. of when they were small to current time. I have all of the fab. for daughters quilt and most for sons. I have already purchased pkgs of Printed Treasures sheets to use. I will start on them as soon as I finish the current quilt I am working on. I started on it waiting for the pkgs of Printed Treasures. I have become angry each time I think about them and so disappointed that there are no copies to share with him since he is grown now. I had separate albums for each of the kids. I really don't know how DD's escaped and managed to get moved safely, but he has had plenty taken and kept over the years since. I am a hughe pic. buff when it comes to family pics.Thanks for caring with your reply and suggestions though.
