Weekend Assignment #78

John's assignment this weekend:

Weekend Assignment #78: You are preparing to evacuate your house due to an upcoming threat. You have already packed up all your essential items, people and pets. You have room for three non-essential items. What are they?

Remember, you already have your essentials: food, medicines, water, clothes, and all the people (including the furry ones) who live with you. "Non-essentials" are things you don't need but would like to have, and can include momentos, books, jewelry, objects of sentimental value, and so on and so forth.

Extra Credit: Have you ever been evacuated?

My 3 nonessential items (hard to narrow down to just 3)

1  my scrapbooks/photo albums

2  a box of books.  I would die if I didn't have any reading material.

3  the pillow I made from my grandmother's bath robe.

If I could have just one more thing, I would take my computer.  But the top 3 would mean the most to me.

Extra credit:  Have you ever been evacuated.  No.  My parents did run a Red Cross shelter at the coast a few years back during a hurricane.

It's interesting to read the answer to this question. I didn't do this because I'd already done an entry. But if I had, my 3 nonessential items woud be:
1- My Bible
2- My box of "favorite" music
3- One binder containing some of my stories
