I fell into a Burning Ring of Fire

My morning started with a nice cup of coffee, a kitty in the bed, Bill and Amy on the radio and a call from my Momma with sirens in the background. Gosh that's alot of fire trucks Mom calmly wondered aloud into the phone...





An hour later I am standing in front of Mom and Dave's home that they have completely remodeled (much of it with their own hands and a good 55-gallon drum of Dave's sweat) - behind it Mother Nature is threatening to take it all down in 15 minutes flat, with a lick of flame and some help from the Santa Ana's.





So we spoke of the things that one would take in case of an evacuation. What is irreplaceable? What is sentimental? What has blood pumping through it's veins?





We came up with this list:


Humans


Pets


Id's, Birth Certificates, credit cards, cash, current bills not paid


Computer hard drives


Prescription Glasses


Keys


Cell Phones


Prescriptions (not that this healthy twosome takes anything but aspirin)


Family Photos


Jewelry


Dave's Drums-One of a kind and NOT replaceable


Artwork
