If I could take three things to an unknown country with me what would I take? (This assignment is going to make my real personality show through... haha)
This is a very very tough question. The first thing that popped into my mind is my gun. Although I'm sure it wouldn't be allowed on the airplane or boat or whatever I had to ride on to get where I was going. I do have my concealed handgun license and this is definetly one time I would take advantage of that license. To be honest it would not only be for my protection but also for hunting. My whole life I've grown up hunting for food. Of course, we bought food at the store also, but my favorite food is out of the wild. We always killed deer, squirrel, rabbits, ducks, dove and turkeys and ate them for several meals. Money is one thing that didn't cross my mind about taking because I would be able to supply my own food IF they allowed me to take my gun.
This is weird again, but the second thing that crossed my mind was a cow. Fresh milk anytime I needed it and I could raise even more cattle and butcher my own meat for hamburgers and steaks! YUMMY! This question brings up a lot more questions in my mind, because if I was going to live a long time I would bring 2 cows and a gun because I would have to make a living somehow and my family and the family I married into has raised, sold and bred thousands of cattle. The ranch I live on is 1000+ acres and runs over 500 cattle on it. So in my mind I would be thinking survival, along with lifestyle and future.
So in the end I would bring my gun and 2 cows. I have to say that my Bible, money, pictures and sweet tea would come in next, but these things are only material things and won't get you through life (except the Bible)
So if I could only bring one thing, I would have to choose a cow.
I'm a nerd! My apologies, I just read it said 3 small items!!!!! But now I guess you know me on a deeper level... haha! So now I change my answer to Bible, gun (concealed) and sweet tea!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very hard question to answer. I can understand why you selected the first items you did, you were thinking survival. I guess I chose the items I did, because I was thinking hope, and sanity...and for me my bible and family gives me both those things...and by the way, I absolutely love sweet tea! but since I made a decision to cut back on sugar, I am letting it go...it's just not the same with artificial sweeteners :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Shanda,
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the country and I hear country girl all over you and of course I mean that in a good way :) I hope we end up together because I love steak, sweet tea and my bible!
Hi Shanda,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It is so cool that you live on such a big ranch! I am a country girl too but on a MUCH smaller scale. I love all animals but have a real affection for cows. Yes, I eat them, but have a pet one too; her name is Mae. I'm with you on the sweet tea too!
