I am the keeper of the family heirlooms. My sewing machine, computer, clothes, papers, etc... would be left behind. The family bible from 1854, the cradle and rocker from 1874, the journals from 1885-1903, my grandma's treadle from 1907, and So much more would be going with me. One time, about ten years ago, we had a chimney fire. We lived in an isolated area. While waiting for the firemen to arrive, I filled the front lawn with those keepsakes and photo albums. I've been lucky and never had to Evacuate. My heart would break if those things were lost during My watch...
