I've been tagged by Liz at Tidbits from Liz. She has a great blog, so be sure to drop by sometime!! OK, here are the rules:
Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal/blog along with these instructions. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. Tag five other people to do the same.
This excerpt comes from the book "Marley and Me" by John Grogan. It's a great book, especially for those who love dogs.
"It was like we were living with a wild stallion-and trying to teach it to sip tea from fine porcelain. Some days I felt like Anne Sullivan to Marley's Helen Keller. I thought back to Saint Shaun and how quickly I, a mere ten-year-old boy, had been able to teach him all he needed to know to be a great dog. I wondered what I was doing wrong this time."
Alright, so now I'm going to tag:
1. Carrie's Little World
2. Shell in Your Pocket
3. Lions, Tigers, and Boys, Oh My!
4. At Home in the Country
5. My Life on the East Coast
It's your turn!! HAVE FUN!!

What a fun little tag... I may use this tomorrow for my blog - thanks for stopping by!
make it a great day!
How fun I can't wait to do this I think I will go add it to my post that I just did it fits since it was kinda about books. I tried to send you a comment before this but my computer is acting up so you may end up with two from me!
I just posted my tag! This was way fun! Thanks for including me, April!!
Wasn't that fun! I see you found how to change your font colors. I was actually getting ready to tell you how to do it. Glad you figured it out. Now we will have colorful blogs. :o)
Thank you!! I love books and have a pile around me right now-so I'll close my eyes and pick one...I love this award!!!! (Love your book-me and the kids read that one...)
I'm glad you came by today!! I love to visit Georgia...my in-laws live there. I'll come back by after I get over the shock of all the comments I got the past two days.
Do you ever "come home" to Arkansas?
And here I was just stopping in to visit, and what do I see but my name in that tag list! I will tackle that dude tomorrow. I think my closest book is my new (old) Reader's Digests. That should be interesting.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting me, I enjoy reading your comments!

Sounds like a lot of fun. I will have to post mine before the week is out. I have a different kind of post that I am now participating in on now. I know...sounds confusing, huh? You'll see in the morning. No need to tell you to stop by, as I can always count on you to check in on me.
PS ~ Love the new colors of your blog. I may need to get instructions from you on how to add additonal words like you've added underneath your "leave your comments". I haven't checked into it just yet, so I might surprise myself and figure it out.
Oh, I was also going to tell you thanks for you kinds words that you left me the other day. They meant a lot to me and same back at ya. We do seem to have a lot in common, huh? I am so thankful to have met a person like you here in blogland and also one that I can already call a special friend.
Found you through SITS! Glad you made it over! I love this post and I'm going to do one of my own and tag 5 people. I will mention that I got it from you. I've been reading your blog and will definitely visit again.
hugs from NC
