Sandy Shores tagged me for this meme.  Sandy has a knack for writing those "right on target" posts, chock full of helpful information.  I've learned a lot from Sandy, especially about real estate investing, so I am more than happy to comply.

Here are the guidelines:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.
6. Tag five people to do the same

[The one book that this cannot be is the Bible]

Since I am sitting on my sofa, the nearest book is my end table book.  It's a travel guidebook, actually "a traveler's life list" ... perfect for a quick read about some new and interesting place in the world.

1,000 Places to See Before You Die by Patricia Shultz, 2003.

Page 56, beginning with Sentence five:

 "There's no choice in the set five-course menu, but you'll be happy to leave the evening in the masterful hands of the chef who relies entirely on whatever is available from the local waters and suppliers.  She has achieved celebrity status by not adhering to strict gastronomic conventions; the success of each inventive dish derives from delicate and simple flavors.  Breakfast is as much a joy as the evening's repast was a masterpiece."

The author is referring to the Altnaharrie Inn in Ullapool, Scotland. 

Now back to my reality of a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast!

Okay ... time to tag five lucky Rainers (in alphabetical order):
