Even though I choose each week's photos for Friday's 40-or less Photo Challenge, I have no idea what my response will be until I start writing a few days later.
Today's? NOT the direction I thought this would go! I was waxing nostalgic about diners and family dinners and "variety is the spice of life" and good and evil and salt of the earth stuff--not a touch of the insane with a poem trumpeting the virtue of salt and pepper!
Oh, well, que será será...I've certainly written crazier.
This week, instead of using Mr. Linky, just leave a comment on this post and I'll compile a list below. If you're new to Friday's 40, click the badge for details and this link for samples of previous challenges; then, please feel free to respond with a post of your own!
