[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1327130, member: 16769"] Reporting back, as promised. Did the Idaho trip last week. Stayed with friends; no room at Dad's new small digs. Spent one day with Dad and the "good sister" packing/sorting/trashing; another day just Dad and me. Did not see or hear from the wicked sister, and only a few minor dust-ups with Dad ... hard for him to just get through the move with what he has room for, and then sorting out what was gifted to kids, or the kids bought from him ... and there's still lots more that has to find a home somewhere -- 60 years worth -- either via sale or some charity. It's not a "hoarder" situation; just "too many memories" things, besides the big pieces of furniture, appliances, etc. Sad . . . some are things collectible but none of us are interested/care about it/have room for it. He's pretty wired tight. Wound up leaving Idaho with my entire stock trailer filled front to back, hauling some stuff for other sibs between Boise and Seattle. And got good and sick while I was there, with allergy induced asthma, and that resulted in 2 more extra days in ID and OR, just to get my shyt together enough to deal with the drive home in spurts. I think he has an offer going on his house; he'll ask for a 30-day close to get everything else out . . . but not sure who will be able to do that for him, since only the wicked sister seems to be in charge. Also been issues about getting his phones changed around. His old house phone now goes to his cell, which he can pick up; but hasn't figured out how to get messages. I think he needs a more "blind user friendly" phone. [/QUOTE]
