With the fires so close to us here in Grimes County I wanted to get my most prized possessions loaded for departure, just in case. The fires were 5 to 10 miles from us but moving as fast as they were with the high winds you just never know. Into my van went my 2 sewing machines, serger and my only finished quilt and all my pieced tops. (Not many). Then I put all other important stuff by the door to be loaded if need be. I guess my prioratories are a little askew. Thank God we are getting a much needed rain today. Haven't heard if the fires are out but this rain is sure to be a major help.

I would do the same thing if I had too. I cant get over all the fires so early this year. Im sure you've heard a about our fires here in Arizona, they are all over the place...in the mountains, in the desert. Such devastation.
Stay safe, thoughts and prayers coming your way :)

Don't forget to pack up everything the IRS will want to see if they decide to do an audit on you. They don't care if your house burned with your records or not, it's prove what you claim or pay what they want. After that you need all your citizenship records and military records - everything the government in all it's wisdom ever gave you, and you depend on now or in the future. If you haven't retired you may be surprised at what you may need to show to get some government agency to do what they are supposed to do.
Sure hope no one reading this EVER has to actually leave their home because of fire or flood or storm.
