February Wednesday 9 1927
Roscoe and Ernie attended a U.F.Y.P.O. executive meetng at Maus School but I drove up and spent the evening with Jean. They had been to Brantford so she showed me some additions to her trousseau which included a hat that made her look more becoming than ever.
Thursday 10
Just 15 months this morning since I started working at "Bendemere" and I celebrated it by a holiday from peddling milk as I completed my term as an "M.P." the day before. Put in the day helping Alex doctor ring worm on the cattle in the morning and helping Ernie in the dairy in the afternoon.
