In the morning I went (Mother, too) to dentists + had 1 large cavity (above - on left) in back) it hurt! I have to have more filled later. Perhaps in Mass. He is the same doctor who didn't hurt before?!?! He will get in army soon (Dr. Richard Eamich). Then we came home + packed. I played with Bobbie some after packing + getting rabbit in mouse cage (medium) + cleaning out his cage, feeding fish, etc. - my corn will be ripe by the end of the week (we are just too late.) I picked 2 4-leaf clovers in the yard - one for Mabel + one for me. The catbirds (who have nest in our lilac bush) have quite large babies now. They are always scolding the cat.
