Flying
It's Marilyn Monroe. It looks like her legs anyway.
It looks to me like she's a lifesaver cuz there's a lake
down here. She's puttin' on the dog. There's a bunch of people
down here sunning themselves. She's catching a Frisbee.
She's jumping after whatever that is.
On the beach-Pismo Beach-it can't be Myrtle Beach-
an ocean beach.
H turned the picture over and said, "On this side they're
taking a nap."
It's in the afternoon, in the summer. A
lot of people in the rrrrrrrrrrrr!
There's people in the water.
No.
She's jumping and jumping and jumping.
That's a sharp one. A Frisbee. Somebody threw it to her.
A partner threw it. Somebody threw it evidently.
Somebody had to throw it cuz somebody's catching it.
She's wearing beach wear. A little bit of nothing.
I'd say a small dress showing her legs. She ain't wearing
too much of anything. Showing her legs-sandals on her feet.
She was on the beach anyway so she didn't need any socks
or anything like that. You might find something out by
looking at her feet. Cuz if they had they'd be fat.
No.
Yeah.
She's got it on.
M pointed to the legs in the picture and said, "There's a
line down here." She would jump higher with those shoes
cuz if she had bare feet she couldn't.
Well yes she would with those shoes.
She would jump higher cuz if she had bare feet she couldn't.
She's 55, 35, 26, 19 or 40.
She didn't have any sense.
She's got it all going for her.
She's playing catch with a Frisbee--that's why she's jumping up.
You catch a Frisbee at a beach or any open space.
A little bit of excitement. She's resting from making a movie.
Because it's not crowded. Just to get the sun.
She's got pretty legs.
Let's see that handwriting again.
I'm looking. I'm looking.
I'm not seeing nothing but I'm looking.
Going swimming next. Take a shower. She'll go back to the office.
What are you gonna say Grandma?
She probably can't go back. The office wouldn't want her.
She'll go back to get her instructions for next week.
Not really.
How would you end it? You got me.
I don't know. I'm looking but I don't see nothing.
She's gonna hitch a ride back to the office and resume typing.
I wouldn't have any idea.
She's gonna take a shower and wash the sand off.
Before they leave they have to take all those umbrellas down.
