Keeping Your Family Recipes Safe From Disasters

I rarely do this but this is too important to not write about on both my blogs. Today I posted on http://lifestorytriggers.com/wordpress/blog about keeping your memories safe. Please go there and review what plans you will create to keep your family heirlooms safe. On that same theme I post this blog.

Please remember that one of your family heirlooms are your family recipes. Since I am one of those did not get family recipes handed down to due to World War 11, I am keenly aware that important things get lost due to flooding or even wars. Family heirlooms get lost and family recipes are sometimes the last things people would put on a list of things to save. If you have taken the time to collect yours please make sure there are copies where they can be reached. The cloud or a back up computer company are a great place to think about for a start but you may have better ideas.

Two things I know for sure, disasters happen without warning and if we spend a few moments planning, we might be able to saved those items that really are irreplaceable. It does take planning and it does take some time to execute the plan. Anyone can have a diaster happen at their home, I know from experience, we had a major fire when I was in the sixth grade caused by faulty wiring. None of us are immune from tragedy. If we take this time to safe guard our heirlooms and family recipes, the next generation will happy that their relatives were so smart to keep them safe.This insurance you cannot buy but have to create yourself.
