Book Tag

Jill tagged me for this book tag. Here are the rules for this tag.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

The book I am reading right now is Sunset by Karen Kingsbury. She is one of my favorite authors. Because I am at my parent's house, this is the book that I have closest because it is the one I am reading right now. This is the last in her series about a family called the Baxters. It is actually the last book in the third set of series. The fifth sentence is: Yes, we sure do. It's kind of a boring sentence and doesn't make a lot of sense unless you put it in context. So, let me put it in context. One of the characters in the book (Landon) has just found out that his grandfather is not doing well and may not live long. His grandmother passed away just a few months ago. His grandparents were married for seventy-six years and were very close. He is reminiscing about his grandparents and the incredible influence they have had in his life. He remembers his grandparents singing wherever they would go - whether driving their homemade cheese to the dairy or visiting the sick and shut-in from their community and church. His grandmother would always say to his grandfather, "We have it so good, don't we, Pa?" and his grandpa would respond, "Yes, we sure do." He realizes what a deep faith and love of family his grandparents had.

So, now I tag anyone who has not been tagged to do this yet (Lisa O., Lisa B., Stephanie, Natasha)
