As I sit here, at an early morning hour, a thought darted through my mind for whatever reason......If I had to hurriedly leave my home forever, what ten things would I absolutely have to take with me? (In no particular order)
- Mom's prayer book and rosary.
- Christmas village that I painted.
- Two mosaic espresso cups I bought in Italy.
- Gramma H's garnet engagement ring she gave me when I was a little girl.
- Daddy's favorite flannel shirt that still hangs in my closet.
- My Gramma B's English tea pot.
- The priceless Scandinavian hearth-stool that my hubby chip-carved just for me.
- My first dolly that Gramma H made for me.
- My little rocking chair that Mom painted white and put decals on for me.
- My four 3-ring binders of single-spaced, typewritten notes from my year's study of the Bible, OT and NT, and my other writings from over the years, published and unpublished.
Looking at my list of treasures, I guess you might call me a sentimental sally. Sure hope I don't ever need to make a hasty exit from my home, because there are a whole lot of other things around here that mean the world to me. But, these are the top ten. Maybe I should put them all in one place so they'd be easy to grab, if need be. Hmmmmmm. Not a bad idea.
