January Monday 10 1927

A nice bright day for me to start back on the milk route after not having peddled for six days. Got along pretty good even if Charlie Birley who was supposed to help me didn't show up till I was nearly through. Finished up at 12:15. My feet were pretty tired at night after being on them all day so retired a few minutes after 8.

Tuesday 11

Charlie helped me peddle the milk and we had a great time and were home by 12.20. He washed the bottles in the afternoon and Alex and I drove to town then went to Brantford with Dad where did some business then went to a sale just outside the city. I went after a horse but didn't buy any as they didn't fill the bill. Paris defeated Hamilton 4-3 in an O.H.A. hockey game.

Wednesday 12

Another dandy day and a little milder. Made good time all by myself and was home from town at 12.30 or sooner. Had a shave and called Jean up at nooon. Charlie and Roscoe went up as far as Dean's with me at night. Had a nice time with Jean when we looked at some letters of hers before she burnt them, and we had the kitchen to ourselves. She showed me part of her trouseau and her new quilt.
