123 Book Meme

I was tagged yesterday by Leslie in an online blog game in which the rules are:

1. Grab the nearest book of 123 pages or more.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the first 5 sentences and write them down.
4. Then invite 5 friends to do the same.

If you'd like to learn more about 123 Book Meme, Bruce recommended some online reading Blog Meme from the Quixtar Blog.

So here's mine. The nearest book on my bedside table is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver. Page 123:

"But 'locally grown' is a denomination whose meaning is incorruptible.
Sparing the transportation fuel, packaging, and unhealthy additives is a compelling part of the story, but the plot goes beyond that.
Local food is a handshake deal in a community gathering place.
It involves farmers with first names, who show up week after week.
It means an open-door policy on the fields, where neighborhood buyers are welcome to come have a look, and pick their food from the vine."

OK - couldn't resist - the 6th sentence (end of chapter) is:
"Local is farmers growing trust."

I tag Sharyl, Corn Dog, Karl, Matt Edminster, and the Kapics.
