10 Things I'd Save in a Fire

1. My pictures - The boxes: full, the computer: full, the albums: the few that are full, the framed ones that cannot be replaced.
2. My dog, though in an emergency, she'd probably be the first one out!
3. The mold of my hand holding my son's hand when he was an infant.
4. The cheese sculpture that my daughter made for me.
5. My current knitting project.
6. The quilt my mother made for my son.
7. My daughter's favorite stuffed animal. His name is Bob.
8. My jewelry - the real stuff only.
9. A framed painting that came from my grandmother's house.
10. A piece of published sheet music that belonged to my maternal grandmother - the story is that the song was written for her by a beau in the late 1800's.

Of course, all this goes without saying that my family is already out.

This is a great prompt - it really made me mentally go through the house room by room and think about what was replaceable and what absolutely wasn't.

A cheese sculpture!? That is so freaking awesome. (this totally just proves that I am a cheese freak...) I liked the rest of your list... :) And I was glad to see that I wasn't the only person who went-- MY KNITTING!

A cheese sculpture. Wow!

Yes, it made me think about how much I cling to my dear memories and leave them at such an occassion.
