The loveseat is back by the picture window and all is right again in Dad's world 😁
There was a moment of excitement...I was helping unplug the three sections of (obviously fake) tree and was having trouble seeing, so I used the flashlight on my phone. At one point, I set the phone down on a group of branches in order to get a better grip on the plug. About 20 minutes later, when the tree had been boxed and stuffed back into the shadow realm of the attic...I couldn't find my phone. The last thing I remembered was laying it on the branches while unplugging the bottom two sections. I was just about to use Dad's phone to call mine (and praying I'd hear it ring) when I suddenly remembered my phone was charging in my bedroom. Whew! If Dad had to brave the shadow realm again, he would NOT have been pleased...
I'm holding off on part two (the removal of everything else) till tomorrow after work.
