"You'll Find Out" was a Kay Kyser movie featuring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre in addition to Kyser's band in a haunted house comedy mystery. The entire movie can be found on YouTube at the moment featuring Kyser's fast patter, bad jokes, and music along with the legendary horror movie stars.

Baking soda mixed in water as a cure for acid reflux has been around a very long time. First time I've seen it used for a cat!

Mamie seemed to be in a better mood during this period no doubt due to the excitement of getting the new home put together.
