Groan.
I am supposed to find the book closest to me and turn to page 123.
This was the first challenge as the closest books didn’t have 123 pages in them. Children’s books aren’t usually that long. So I reached into the school reading basket that is close to the computer here. The first one that I grabbed was:
“Parables from Nature” by Mrs. A. Gatty ( which is a possible clue as to it’s age. )
Find the 5th sentence and then type the next three here.
I remembered too, that only a short time before, I had seen budding almond-trees in villa gardens outside the town. They were not common in my own country, and they must all be out in flower now, I thought; and this decided me. I would go and see them that very day.
I am now supposed to tag 5 (yes, five!) other people. Well, since I don’t know 5 other people with blogs that haven’t already been tagged, I’ll just leave it here.
Aren’t you glad I didn’t grab Pilgrim’s Progress? I sure am! Those sentences go on forever!
ha! i was anxiously awaiting the next post on your blog. I must say, it lived up to my expectations. spring is coming! (aren’t these things supposed to be a sign or something?)

And what did I hope for myself? Hope. It seemed a bitter word now.

OK then… that is dark and depressing, isn’t it?

Eric, you have a blog- I should have tagged you! Then all of my lady friends could have gone over there and learned how to work on a BMW. 🙂
I had to look up your book reference and author. I hadn’t heard of it. I don’t get to read very much anymore. Is that book out yet?
We will be reading “Robin HOOD” in a few weeks. Does that count?
