Another Mess

CUDEN MARY LU & CUDEN WILL

Instead of cousin I have always heard them referred to as cuden.

Will & Mary Lu never married they were content to be single.

Will with one of his prize jersey cow and his new wheels.

Belle Meade is the RICH (old money) part of Nashville. Cuden Will would drive his new car and sell door to door his cream , milk and produce. Of course it was the back door. Mimi said the cream was so thick you could cut it with a knife and when Cuden Mary Lu made ice cream she would just crush up some peppermint candy and stir it into the cream and then freeze.

Mimi and her sister Lucy would spend at least a week or two at Waveland each summer. Mary Lu would take both of them out to the store and buy them enough material to make each one a dress.

Mary Lu like to go to Florida each year and she collected shells. If you look close ,you can see she placed them around the big magnolia trees. There is one of those shells outside under Mimi bedroom window .

When Mimi graduated from eighth grade, she said Cuden Will came and took her and all her girlfriends out riding in his new convertible. Too bad I do not have a picture of that one.

The Kitty Justice is that Mimi is the only one around who remembers either. She is the last one left in that generation.
