Theme Day: Great Big Mess


 I had to go pretty far back in time for this shot.  In fact, I had to dig into the box of old photos to find this one.  It dates back to 1994 when I was living in Mesa in my favorite townhouse that I featured a month ago.

One afternoon, I was working at my desk in another room when I heard a very loud crash.  I ran to the kitchen to find that a shelf in my pantry had broken and sent a very large stack of dishes crashing to the floor.  As I recall, I was able to salvage a few of these dishes but the the majority were broken or chipped. It was quite a mess.  

My dad (bless his heart) came over with his tool box and fixed the shelves so they wouldn't break again.

Today's City Daily Photo bloggers theme is "great big mess".  When I learned the theme, I wondered if I still had a photo from this incident. I'm lucky I found it.
