The timing was none too soon for Mom was alert enough for a brief time to enjoy the color and Eli's smiling face. I thought I would share a bit of youthful joy and wonder with you, as I did with mother, through the kindness of her good friends.

The Spirit of Youth
A delightful packet arrived special delivery today from Mother's little friend, Eli. He and his brother, mom and dad will be jetting off to Guatemala very soon so they popped this marvelous gift of Eli's art and their family pics to mother.

About Me
- Judith Marie Jones
- 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.

Dear Jeff,
I am so sorry for Judy.
I got half way through her blog and had to stop. Her journey remined me so of my experience with Asako, the most beautiful woman in my life.
No doubt, our mother is that for you and many others from what I can tell.
I hope you are holding up...do take care. I send you and your mom's transcending spirit all my love and gratitude.
Asako is probably there with Judy ( http:/mizflounce.blogspot.com/2008/11/like-cloud-of-fire.html )...the two engaged in a delightful dance. Both smiling!
What a wonderful image that is!
Much love,
R
