This little meme has been circling around the blogosphere for a few days now, I saw it at Quilly’s and Melli’s. Both had picked it up at Thom’s, who in his turn had stolen found it somewhere else. I did not really feel like doing this meme since most of the books within reach are mostly dictionaries. BORING.
At least that’s what I thought.
Until I took a closer look and spotted this little booklet on the bookshelf above my computer screen … And then I knew it could make a nice blog post.
1. Collect the book that you have most handy:
It’s the booklet “mama”, a little gift from my daughter a few months back.
2. Turn to page 161:
It contains lots of delicious recipes, beautiful pictures and thoughts and sayings about motherhood. It’s very precious to me.
3. Find the 5th complete sentence: There is only one, it’s an Italian saying.
4. Cite the sentence on your blog: It says: “ A good mother does not ask “ who wants …?” She GIVES.
5. Pass it on to 5 other victims (oops…bloggers):
Feel free to pick it up if you would like to do it. I’m not tagging anyone.
Besides, I think everybody has already done it?

I had never heard that quote by Katherine Hepburn - but I'm glad to know it now.
Your pictures are, as always, perfect.
I have seen this meme around but my desk is also surrounded by dictionaires!
You did a beautiful job with this meme, Jientje, what beautiful pictures, love the turning of the page and the sentence. And K Hepburn's quote too :)
Interesting.
Wow! Wonderfully done, Jientje :)
This is a new one on me. The book closest to where I am sitting is Streams in the Desert. It's fabulous- 366 daily devotional readings from the word of God.
Oh yes the Italian mammas ! they are a special race. Usually they only take and don't give anything once the child is an adult ! (except my MIL)
Great pics and what a lovely quote.
But OF COURSE you did this meme with more class than anyone! What a lovely little book!
When I did that meme, the sentence was about-- you guessed it! --knitting and fiber!
delightful, love the meme done with pictures and your subject was perfect. I might play.
You made a sweet and touching post for this meme Jientje!
What a lovely book!
Looks like a really sweet book! Love how you added all the pictures to go with the meme.
Adding the photos was great and I liked see the different language on the book :) Well done my friend :)
You put that together very well.
Jientje -- your posts are always beautiful, no matter what you are writing about.
You and I share the same philosophy on love.
