This time last year we nearly lost our home to bush fires! We were evacuated and it was a weird feeling being somewhere else and not knowing what we’d come back to. We were one of the lucky ones! Maybe there’s a book in there! Anyhow, on running to the car, the kids each had a bag of what they most wanted to take with them. I had the thumb drives of all our home videos and the dog. My daughter said to me - ‘have you got your novel’? So sweet. I hadn’t remembered my thumb drive and ran back in to get it. Nowadays I use dropbox! But do make your own list in case you’re evacuated for fire or hurricane/twister or flood reasons. I’m grateful all we’ve had happen this year is a lightning strike take out our air con. 😊 . . . #theharpereffect #tarynbashford #bookquotes #bookishfeatures
