When I saw this, I thought about Mary's physical ability to perform this feat, and remembered her diving into the pool at midnight to save Olive Taylor. So I did a little Google search and found this lovely video. Have a wonderful weekend.

Wanders, you'll enjoy he Island of Sea Women by Lisa See, a novel about these amazing women divers in Korea. Mary wouldn't last a day among them! Madi, however, would.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peggy. I just downloaded it to my Kindle. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Wanders and Peggy Olson to enlighten us so well! Thanks to both of you.
ReplyDeleteAny of those Korean women could take Mary with one hand tied behind her wet-suited back.
It looks like the water Madi and Faux Gram are jumping into is 3 feet deep at best. OUCH!!!!!
Let’s all dive into the deep, dark ocean of grief together, shall we?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the video, Wanders — and to you for the book recommendation Peggy.
Look for Splash! The Musical! sometime soon, when Broadway re-opens and everyone realizes they’ve watched Hamilton a hundred times already.
SUNDAY
ReplyDeleteMadi: "You know, Mary. You remind me of my Gram.
Mary: "Oh, why is that, dear?"
Madi: "Because you're really old, you smell, and you look like you're going to die very soon."

"You remind me of my Gram" -- Wow. Now who could've seen THAT coming?
ReplyDeleteNext reveal -- Since Gram colored her own hair, will Mary act in kind for Madi's sake? A big tuft of Mary Worth purple up there?
Oh, God, I just realized I have a swimsuit similar to Mary's. I am re-examing my whole life.
