Another Mess

Edward (Prince's little brother) and Mimi at Edward's birthday dinner.

Mimi working at Vanderbilt after she had graduated from Vanderbilt.

Today is Mimi's Birthday and she is eighty-nine years young.

When she was only five years of age, her Mother died of breast cancer. So Lucy and she learned a lot by trial and error.

Mimi was a hootie when small. Case in point she would light roman candles and run through the house. She would climb a tree and hide from her sister when there was work to do. And the worse was she would put onions in her sisters shoes and Lucy was forever trying to keep them clean. Most of the time Mimi would put the onions in on Saturday night so Lucy would be in a dither to get them clean before Church.

All she will ever say about Vandy is that she was lucky to graduate. I think it is great that she can say she is a Vanderbilt Graduate.

Mimi is one of those southern ladies who raised to do the right thing. When she turned eighty I told her "You are eighty years old and you do not have to do anything you do not want to do." She has freely used this for the last nine years. We laugh each time she does.

The Kitty Justice is that most people would love to grow up and be like Mimi.
