I've been tagged by Leonie!
Here are the rules of the book meme.
1. Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
Well, the nearest book with 123 may not actually have sentences. Let's see. The book is Foote Family: Comprising the Genealogy and History of Nathaniel Foote of Wethersfield, Conn. and his Descendants. (Don't you just love how book titles used to fill the entire cover of a book?) This book is essentially genealogy records, and sentences are scattered. Just as I thought, page 123 is not a page with decent sentence offerings.
So, next nearest book... That is Mary Daly's Creator and Creation, and it only has 117 pages. Ack!
I have a winner! Smart Moves by Carla Hannaford. And I am actually currently stopped on page 125. But here are the winning sentences:
"As the thumb reaches the lower mid-field of the visual field bring it back up the center and clockwise out, around, and down the right side. This should be continued in an even flowing movement at least three times with each hand. Then both hands shouldbe clasped with the thumbs forming an X."
The context is a presentation of how to do various Brain Gym exercises for strengthening various skills. This one is called Lazy 8's for Eyes.
I recommend the book for anyone concerned with learning, children, or the wonder of the human body.
Whom shall I tag? How about Patty, Stacy, Suzanne, Mel, and that guy in England who hardly ever posts on his blog.

Wow, the book sounds very interesting - I have a few that wear glasses or contacts.
