Da dum..da dum...da da da da da daDUM!

Its summer. Its getting hot. It makes you want to don a bathing suit and go swimming.
Yeah right.
I discovered a wonderful older documentary about that terrifying wonderful film that still 34
years later strikes terror in our hearts. I was 2 or 3 when I first remember watching it. I remember that music scaring me half to death. THEN I saw the SHARK! my parents delighted in reaching over and grabbing me at really tense moments. Loving parents. Really.


I remember thinking that the first victim was such a pretty lady.







My husband and I eagerly await the release on dvd of The Shark Is Still Working. My husband and I are both movie freaks. We each have our favorites. Jaws is one of them . He bought me a poster of it and had it professionally framed. I have seen Jaws several times. Jaws two about 10. Jaws 3...A horrible 3-D venture 3 times. And Jaws 4: The Revenge. Where the shark follows Widow Body from Amity across the ocean to Jamacia. The only good thing about that was Michael Caine. I admit that I wouldn't get in to the bath after watching jaws. Much less my kiddie pool or the local lake. "It was just a movie! You chicken shit ...get in here!" My big sister would yell when I refused to put my toes in the water at Norris lake all those summers ago.

I couldn't swim until about 2 summers ago,When my husband paiently drug me into the pool and
waited while I tried to get my slower,cebral palsy inflicted right arm and leg to work along with the normal left sided limbs. It took quite awhile. But very slowly I managed to get somewhere.

I can float on both stomach and back. I can swim a little.

Will I ever let my husband take me to Florida to visit my new marine biologist Grandmother and go swimming with real sharks? Maybe.
