There is a new website I have discovered that just fascinates me .http://theburninghouse.com/ I'm thinking it will have me pondering much this week. It is a photo blog of people all over the world answering one question. "If your house was on fire - what would you take with you?" People gather all the things they would take and photograph them in one picture and post the picture and the list on the blog.
I would of course take all the kids and the husband. We only have one cat now and she would probably have been out of the house before there was even smoke because she is one of those specially trained bomb sniffing kind of cats. I don't know that I could fit all the baby books/photos/family videos in the pic but I would try. They are all mostly in the armoire that the tv sits on in our bedroom and I have joked that I would just toss the whole piece of furniture out the window to save it all. I have letters written to my grandmother from my grandfather when they were dating - those I would take. Not to mention the letters Tim wrote me while we were dating. Probably grab the laptop since it has pictures and other things I could not replace. I could replace my scriptures (and I don't mark them alot) so I don't know that I would grab them - its not a desert island kind of situation. I would grab the cookie jar that belonged to my grandmother. Nothing else sounds like the lid coming off and on that jar. I have memories of that sound when I was trying to sneak a cookie : ).
I will probably be making a mental list all week. Maybe even do a post to the site.
I am thinking of asking each of my kids what they would grab - just out of curiosity.
