December Monday 6 1926

A cold bright sunny day. Heavy snowfall of the day before made it pretty heavy going for "Dollie" and I but what did I care when I was happy with the thoughts of completing my term as an M.P. and being a married man in the Spring.

Tuesday 7

Another fine day and a little milder but not quite so bright. Spend a busy day on the milk route and working in the dairy the remainder of the day.

Wednesday 8

A mild morning and with lots of ice it was pretty slippery. Took King and Queen on newly painted milk sleigh for first time and made good time. At night Roscoe, Jimmie, and I drove up to Barkers and clipped their six cows so it would be easier for Jean to milk them. Dandy feed of ice cream etc when we finished after 12 P.M.

December Thursday 9 1926

Felt rather tired after working late the night before so didn't get up very early in the morning so naturally I had to step some to get my work done by supper time.

Friday 10

Roscoe and I drove to U.F.Y.P.O. meeting in Maus School. Late getting started as usual this time due to the president. Part of the programme failed to show up but we had an enjoyable evening and a box social afterwards. Jean was there and Jack brought me home to Bendemere with the girls in his Ford. Gave my report of the conference at Guelph.

Saturday 11

Wash day and as usual a busy one for me. Mrs Birley went away in afternoon so five of us batched it for supper and maybe we didn't have a queer feed of beans follwed by stunts in our "gym". Capped up bottles ready for Sunday, had a swim and retired at eleven o'clock.
