It's three A.M., you are in a deep sleep -- suddenly the fire alarm goes off . . .

As you run out of the house, what's the first thing you'd grab (excluding things that breathe)?

Wow, I really never thought about this.  The kids and dogs, then ???  Maybe a photo album - and a wedding picture.  And my purse with phone.  Move the car out of the driveway.  ... Good question.  Huummm, I will think on this a bit.

My cell phone and it's charger, and maybe quickly grab some clothes to wear  :lol;

Because we have had hurricanes, I have learned to keep irreplaceable things in one spot, where I can grap them quickly.  And it is silly, but I always keep my purse and shoes together when I go to bed (even at a hotel).  Makes you think twice about what is important and what isn't.

Hubby's artificial legs.  They cost a mint and then some.



I would grab shoes and the bathrobe first. I sleep in the nude.

Then maybe the IMAC.

Apparently, and only because this has happened before - my Maritime training kicks in and throw on clothes over my pajamas and try to get to my muster station.  Just ask mom - she was witness to that in Vegas!
