Burning down the house...

Daily Prompt: Your home is on fire. Grab five items (assume all people and animals are safe). What did you grab?

Assuming everyone is safe I reckon I would grab my car keys, handbag (which contains credit card, money, id doc’s etc) the set of portraits of my children growing up, laptop, and the small moveable safe. I may have to leave one of these if the car counts as an item, in which case I would have to leave the laptop.

hugs

I think this version is much better than the Talking heads, don’t you think?

all good choices. 2 dogs, the truck, my purse, my toothbrush (wait, I can’t leave, my computers, my camera, my studio- forget it, I’m going down with the ship!)

It would be awful to have to make a choice. I think my MacBook Air, iPod, camera, passport and purse. I have no idea how I would manage without car keys, but hubby could grab those. I love Tom Jones. Hugs

Good choices ad

I wouldn’t count the car, unless you park it in the house. Actually, I kind of do, it’s in a garage attached to the house and I most certainly would not leave it there if I had time to move it.

  I would love to take more, but for me those are the things one would need to keep going
  *hugs*

I always wait to read other people’s daily prompts until after my own is published, and I can’t believe I forgot to take my purse and keys!

Ok you made me think hard on this one. It would have to be our 3 guitars and the glass plate photo of me and my daughter and our wedding pic. Can I have 6? LOL

I thought about this earlier and the items I picked are – a box with old photos, my camera bag with the camera and all the lenses, hard disk with more photos, my laptop and cell phone. I didn’t think of car keys, purse (for credit cards) or passport – maybe because all of these things can be obtained again. However the photos could not and also I would want to have my phone and laptop, not just to keep in touch but because of all the data stored in them!

I would have to grab my external hard drives where all my photos live. Oh, and the cats.

Keep your keys in your handbag and then you can grab another item

I’m an expert at finding loopholes
