purplerifka made this meme up and I snagged it from serenejournal

Then I'd ask wild_irises and now I'm realising that being poly makes this task really difficult because her partner has another partner who has several other partners. So who gets left out? I'm not picking.

6 photos

Carol's picture of the alley
A Klipper (my ex service dog) xmas card.
A picture of my blood family
I don't know what else.

5 articles of clothing

Warm coat
Rain coat
Cool hat
Pants
Shirt


4 food items

Plants to grow:
Potatoes
A Fuji apple tree
Wheat (I gotta have a way to get bread and pasta!)
Chocolate

3 articles of bedding

A comfy mattress, my special pillow and a warm sleeping bag.

2 Pets

Gotta bring my baby girl, Gilly the Dobie

1 electronic gadget

Since I'm only bringing one pet. I'm hoping I can bring my wheelchair and my Bi-PAP (I'm assuming I get a CD and DVD player or the second and third lists are kinda pointless ;-)

Oh, I'd come with you. Let them fend for themselves for two years!
