8.87 + .15 = 9.02  Made lunch for 
Grandma (Mother went to Boston for the day) Made a good blueberry pie (thin good crust - ate some at lunch) + called Mabel to see if she [[strikethrough]] coulld [[/strikethrough]] could go to the dentist with me at 3:00 P.M. for my 1st appointment. I finished chapter XI in German. nine more to do in 40 more days. - 4 days to a lesson. My green comb broke in 2 pieces. I got one more Jergen's coupon - 7 now. She went with me to the dentist's Dr. Kenny - I don't like him - he is too pessimistic - he drilled a little on a bad one (7 in all!! [[?]] + it hurt so he put some stuff on it + I left !? He was supposed to do 3 today! He set another appointment (one tomorrow at 3:00) for Thurs - at 10:30 A.M.

TUESDAY
I cut out another Jergen's - have 8 now
Cloudy + rainy early. Fair, in the morning Amy (mother's girlhood friend) came over + mother continued in a picture (oils) of her (she has done a nice one of Grandma this  summer too- about 1 wk's work). In the afternoon at 3:00 I went to dentist. (I thought it was 3, it was only 2 when I got there- hour hand fast) stripes O.K.) I called Mother, looked
in dime store + got 2 white belts
one for mother, one for me. M's was plain, mine had cuts [[drawing of the belt]] Then I went to d's [[dentist]] office + read magazines - Mabel came in soon + read with me. Then came my turn. He filled 2 teeth - took from 3:45 (at least) to 5 or 4:50. It hurt quiet a bit so he put some drug in. it still hurt but not as much -
deep cavities - I didn't think they would
be - neither did Vir. [[Virginia]] dentist. The drug made the side of my lip very numb for more than an hour.
