Wanted to go shopping in A.M. but Mary came at 12. In meantime cleaned bathroom good & rest of house somewhat. Photographed 2 cecropia larva that are spinning their cocoons in corner of wooded box entwined. Gene Stratton Porter has nothing on me!
Mary called after lunch saying Mother had gone to hospital. Had X-Rays – blood tests, etc. as her stomach pain hadn’t stopped as it usually did. I went over & did funeral work – Got uptown about 5 – home & got supper. Then over to make a couple more. Home & got ready in a flash – kids & all – wnet out & picked up Florence & Sandra & went to movie at the new “Drive-In” Theater up by Forest Glen. Rather fun, but kids were a little wriggly. Fed Ray’s cecropia & polyphemus & home & to bed.
