In the tradition of Ernest Hemingway, who was once challenged to write a short story in six words.
His six-word story was: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
Each week I will choose a theme. It is your mission, if you choose to accept it, to meet that challenge in six words, no more, no less.
If you like, you may illustrate with a photo, or not.
Punctuation will be your biggest ally.
If you decide to play, please link back to this post, and leave the link to your post in comments here.
If you don't want to create your own post, you can write your six-word story in my comments.
The Theme:
Red or White
Red ones give me a headache.
Thank you for playing.

Red wine makes me feel fine.
Chardonnay grows wild in my yard.
Red tomatoes: from vine to table!
Red and white - sea to sea.
(K, now you have to guess what I'm talking about!)
HAHAHAHAHA! I only just noticed 'Websites of mass distraction' - fabulous!
Red and White: Makes me blush.
Cindy, UB40?
Tattered, do you make some fine wine with them?
Wanda, just starting to harvest a few.
Deborah, the Canadian flag?
You're the only one who's ever noticed! I think it's funny, too! :D
Natashya, me, too...that's why I usually stick to mixed drinks or beer.
Red wine brings a happy sigh.
(I am missing those happy sighs these past 5 months :))
Red or white, second's a delight.
No, not me. Can't drink alcohol due to medications. But there are chardonnay vines that have been planted by birds. They go to the big vineyard a few acres away, eat the grapes, come here and poop. In a few years, voila...grapes.
Red wine, rich embodiment of grapes
you should try some reds that don't have sulfites (usually the organics) as those don't seem to give people headaches that are sensitive to red wines. :)
Red: delicious with a rich meal.
White and sweet with tiny bubbles.
=) These are always fun!
I had both last night...headache.
red or white makes me blue
(PS: wine doesn't really agree with me)
Only four more months, Stacy!!
Stevie, seconds usually put me to sleep. :)
Yes, Tattered, the same thing happens with poison ivy...eat, fly, poop, grow. :)
Hi Tammy! That's a good one!
I've tried the organic ones and they do the same thing. Maybe I just drink too much of it. :)
A nice medium rare steak, dutchbaby?
Cora, the bubbles tickle my nose! :)
Sandy, re: my response to Wrensong Farm's Tammy! LOL
Judy, I've also come to that conclusion. :)
My flag idea: Deb did first!
Wine tasting and jazz: Picnic optional.
Another true story...
Okay, think I'll keep the grapes. Can't think of anything to make with the poison ivy, though we don't have that out here. We get poison oak.
Does it have to be about wine? I thought an ode to Alice:
"Paint the White Red," she said.
Red on white saved my Life.
Susie...you got it!
(PS to Kath, are we the only two Canucks to turn up here??)
and Vanessea is a very clever person indeed!!
Hi Kathryn! That Deb's a sneaky one!
Oliag, that sounds intriguing... you should tell the story.
Tattered, poison oak, even worse!
Vanessa, you are very excellent at this game! I love the Alice one. And I'm guessing the other one is the American Red Cross?
Deb, I have a couple more Canuck friends here. Natashya (up there ^) and Sanna from VioletSky, who didn't check in for this one.
I love your pretty flag.
Vanessa is verrrry clever. You should check out her blog, Worth the Wait. It's on my sidebar.
That is quite a challenge! I don't know if I'm up to the task, but I wanted to stop by and say hello and thank you for the comment on my blog.
oh dear, I'm late for the party.
should not have drunk only beer.
(P.S. caught the flag ref)
