The Brenda Photo Challenge (11-13-10) Broken

Broken branches laying on the ground in Sedona, Arizona...




Good Morning everyone! Usually when something breaks around here and it can't be fixed, out to the trash it goes. So...I had a time of it trying to think of something for this challenge! Then I remembered...Daddy's old Rabbit! This "toy" is over a hundred years old. My Grandmother brought it from Vienna, Austria when they emigrated to this country. She gave it to my father as a toy for Christmas one year and he played with it for years. After he grew up, it stayed on his dresser as a rememberence of his childhood. I inherited it from him years ago...I love him. I have Always been partial to rabbits I think, because of him and his "charm..."
Y'all have a great weekend!

I was smitten when I saw the old rabbit! What a terrific keepsake! Marty saw the pictures and winced in pain. He hopes that nobody ever breaks his tail, LOL! Great job on the challenge!

Lovely photos! The broken things in this house are going to be thrown out next summer when I get a skip! If the Farmer refuses to help then he's going in it too!!!

Enjoy your weekend, CJ xx
