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.

Passing the Time or Past my Time?

My good friend Faye sent me a photo or two to reflect upon as I sit beached following my chemo yesterday.

The first pic is an Idea she has for our tombstone. Faye has forgotten that Paul and I intend to be unceremononiously cremated and tossed to the winds.

Nevertheless, I like the way her idea "pops".


The second is a family picture she saw on a minivan that looked like my Squish Mobile (see my blog entry from 12 October, http://mizflounce.blogspot.com/2008/10/tongues-unleashed.html) which also seemed to accurately portray our branch of the Jones family.

I will have to trot out and take a gander at our window for it does seem to be us. I did not realize Big Biscuits had taken to chalk-n-glass as a new creative outlet.


It is so interesting to see what one's wake in this journey through life inspires in others.

Back to sleep...

Mind boggled even when comatose,

Dear Judy,

I lust wanted to let you all know that Lee and I have a new granddaughter, Nina Carolyn Thompson.

She was born on Monday but not named until yesterday! She was 8lbs 12ozs and 22in. We don't get to see her until the new year. Happy Holidays!

HI Judy,

Thinking about you and the Ass Family I probably need a martini. Either that or it is that my back, neck, etc. are giving me problems. (hard to move) I may have too much lumbago to even fix that Martini!

My right arm even bothers me so I spent the day with ice on my waist and neck and watched football games on TV. I didn't get to the Post Office to mail your heal fast and completely card but know every day I am with you!

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.
