Seven Things I Would Save If My House Was On Fire

No body count, no pets to round up, so these seven things I would save from incineration: The bible for its my daily bread, My tablet comes to mind, and then, forgive me, my class notes, my eyeglasses to help me see, my purse (with its contents), my Winter coat, and of course I’d fire up my cell phone. So many things left to burn but memories remain. 2/21/2018 Sponsor - Caren Krutsinger *Don’t hold me to it ;)

Thanks! A neighbor's child had to run out of his apartment with his girlfriend and child, barely grabbing his phone and wallet. Such things leave you no time for thought. Hoping I don't ever ever have to deal with that! Blessings, Maureen!

God forbid that it ever happens Kim. Don't forget to send for the fire department. Tom.

Oh, I almost hate to write about such things, but this one is of good humor. My ex-sis in law had her childhood home burn down and then when my brother and her were building a house, went to check on its progress one morning and it was gone by fire! No, never! So scary!
