Judy's Life and Times

My mother became ill in August 2008 with ovarian cancer. This is a story of the final months of an exceptional woman.

Blowing the Lens Cap Off

Last September during the torrential rains I had myself videotaped Living the Life. After our pre-screening last night the invition-only glitterati suggested I had the screen presence of a young Sophia Loren.

Just imagine how I might have blown the lens cap off if I'd applied a bit of makeup!

Hold on to your pacemaker...

In this clip you will see me on my verandah Shangri La gazing out upon the floating detritus moving down Lake Hamilton (during downpours the dam is opened and then our lake flows like a river). Hurricane Gustav had cut our power and rain was falling by the bucket. By the end of it all we had a total 25 inches of rain (more?)!

Very exciting this life by the Swift Current!

Suspense builds. In the last moment I drop a bombshell medical diagnosis!

My mind never stops.

Avanti!!

Judy, Starlet

About Me

My photo
Vacherie, Louisiana, United States
Born in rural Arkansas my tongue took up residence in my cheek shortly thereafter. I use it to speak "Genteel Southern Lady". Cussin' I only use when provoked by the Uppity. Paul, my husband, and I have lived in Cajun Country for many years raising cane, twins (a boy and a girl; now adults? definitely old) and other mischief. Alligators, water moccassins and bears have tussled with me as I protect our swampy coastal farmstead. We are stuck now on lovely Lake Hamilton near Hot Springs where we have our second home. We have been here waiting for Godot since my heart valves blew out Late November 2007 and now with cancer diagnosed August 2008. The Furies have me in their sights... I am writing this blog to let my Beloveds know how I am doing so they will not "get off" in imagined ways on my dire straits. The reality is bad enough without turning my story into a B-grade movie of the mind. I know all of you wish me the very best. And I miss you! never no mind your fevered imaginations. This is as close as I can get to a fond and loving chat with you right now... Sadly, Judy aka Mizflounce passed away peacefully early on Sunday morning May 30th 2009 age 78.
