Winter's coming. We're all hoping for a ton o' snow to dump on the fires that are burning up Colorado right now, but we'll take whatever we can get. But I don't want to whine-blog again about the damn fires. Nope, gonna go sweep those ashes off my patio and under the rug.
I did happen to come across a "cheat sheet" of sorts - a prepared list of what to gather in case of an evacuation for *some reason or other* for different advanced warning times:
I've known people who've had to be evacuated, and they speak of grabbing their photo albums. I thought, well, I'd just grab my computer and my external hard drive because that's where my important documents and photos are.
But no, we have several photo albums from pre-digital-camera times. I briefly thought about starting a photo scanning-and-organizing project before thinking, "ugh". God, that sounds tedious and time consuming. Well, the journey of a thousand miles starts with one step and all that.
So I dug out some old photos wondering how much was really worth salvaging. Some go way back and are from my parents' collections.
A good head covering is a cold weather friend, and we certainly want to be fashionable at the same time. Kate Middleton, for instance, knows what's what→→
My search for a suitable hat reminded me that I was once similarly fashionable. I do have an interest in fashion, although these days, I dress more for function. But back in my heyday, Kate and I could've been two peas in a pod as evidence in an unearthed photo from my recent investigations

Linking up this week with Mama Kat for the prompt:

Okay then I am hoping too for a lot of snow for you! That would help a lot!
that is a hefty list of stuff, essentials to haul around dodging a tsunami or an earth quake volcano explosion. I have a little pack by the door with stuff in it...who knows what. I LOVE the fashionista girl , striped fur hat, so raccoon and hip! I hope that you are well, the fires are horrifying
My mom always looked great in a all-dark fur winter hat. She wore one in the 70's and in the late 90's I gifted her one for Christmas. I kind of like them, but I live in NW Florida, so scarves and winter hats just aren't necessary. We do get up to wearing winter jackets, though and I sometimes need to wear gloves if it's freezing. But winter fashion around here is like wearing a winter jacket with shorts and sandals. Sometimes jeans, but still with the flip flops. Makes you scratch your head.
I too hope the cooling weather & snow brings relief from the western fires.
Sandie, thanks, we're all doing our snowdance!
Linda Sue, as I recall, that racoon hat was very warm. It served me well. We have a large (comforting?) reservoir between us and the closest fire.
MDW, we're just starting to break out the winter wear, and I realize I don't often see fur hats anymore except those Elmer Fudd fur lined hunting hats. I guess Florida doesn't have much need for such things!
You clearly set the trend for Kate Middleton. That hat was stunning! Stay safe!!
