I've Been Tagged By Kate

I've been tagged by Kate from K&G Bookclub! Kate lives in Charleston, SC and we "met" several months back through our blogs - only to recently discover that we know each other from Sarasota! It truly is a small world after all!

During the meal, conversation had been somewhat inhibited by the amount of food which required to be consumed, but now it picked up again.

Here are the rules:
1) Grab the nearest book to you.
2) Open it to page 56.
3) Find the 5th sentence.
4) Post the text of the next 2-5 sentences and these rules.
5) Pick the closest book (not your favorite, cool, or intellectual).
6) Now Tag 5 other bloggers!
