Dara Torres: My Diaryah

For the past two weeks I have been in a strange place. Some sort of event is going on. Today, a kind young whipper snapper escorted me out of my bed because at my age, I no longer have the energy. Soon a young lady came to my side and began our daily routine. I wish I could tell you her name, but I don't know my own at this point in my life.
Anyways, as she fed me this lovely recipe that she calls Gurbur (I think its German, but I do not care, its delicious). After I'm fed, I take a nap. When I wake up I realize that I missed "The Morning Show". I just love to see the interesting colors on the t.v. When I grew up you were lucky to have a radio in your house. Oh yes you were. Yep...yep.
Another young man soon came into my room and gee golly willikers he asked me a lot of questions above motivation and inspiration. I told him about when I was young I had to walk 10 miles to school everyday. He then asked me if I had any grandkids and if they were in "my space" or something like that. I said what. He said my space. I said my space? I told him "no, they aren't in my room". He then pulled out a light from his pocket and was touching it and it changed colors. He told me he added my grandkids and they are going to meet up later. I don't know what he meant, but Oprah was on and that was all I was worried about. He then left the room and mumbled about how he "hoped my grandkids were as easily persuaded as me". I don't know his name, but he looked awfully similar to that man that is always on t.v. here.
That Oprah is a really cute black woman. I like her. Everyone was racist when I grew up but I'm not, I think all kinds of people are cute. After Oprah a young girl came and wheeled me to some sort of crik. They put on my shower cap, it seemed a little tighter than usual. Yep it did... yep yep.
They usually hold me when I am in the water, but today they let go. I flailed back and forth in the crik and it was really easy so I don't know why there were so many people around cheering for me but I liked it, it was good, it was the loudest cheering I'd heard since my husband came back from World War II on the plane with all the other handsome boys. He never actually came back to me though, like I said, there were many handsome boys.
If those weren't the good days I reckon I don't know what were. My husband's dad was born in Dupree, South Dakota and he moved and built a house and it was beautiful and it was across the way in Mt. Rushmore and my that's the most beautiful mountain I ever did see. Ya reckon? I reckon. Yep yep...
After I got finally reached some wall they gave me the prettiest silver necklace I ever did see. Right then all I wanted was to go back and watch more Oprah though. I didn't need a necklace, I'm too old to use it. Yep yep.
I got wheeled back to my room and they brought me some pork chops that were the best pork chops I ever tasted in my life. My great-grandmother made fresh pork chops that I ever had when I was just a little girl. I wasn't the only one that almost drowned today though. Another little girl was in the crik today and she didn't like drowning either because she got out before I did. She may have been afraid of beavers. I remember when I was a little girl I would never get in the water because as Poppa put it, "those damned beavers dammed the damn crik". That's what he said alright. Yep yep.
We didn't have air conditioning so I swam in the creek every day once I caught all those damned beavers.. We all did. We caught crawdads and we never heard of no computers and we had fun. I liked swimming. We caught crawdads and we never heard of no computers and we had fun. I like swimming. We caught crawdads and we never heard of no computers and we had fun. I like swimming. Yep yep.
Anyways. She had a really pretty underwear on.
Well, I have to go. I think I just stained the lining of MY underwear. I can't really see too well anymore. I made this dress myself. Yep yep.
