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.

January Thursday 13 1927

The number "thirteen" is said to be an unlucky number but the 13th of January 1927 proved to be a lucky day for me when I had a "never to be forgotton" drive with Jean in the cutter behind Dolly on a mild night to a U.F.Y.P.O. directors meeting at Les Kellys and home again. The only unlucky part was that I had a chilly drive home all alone but the 3rd of March will soon be here and then Oh Boy! I'll be home before three in the morning.

Friday 14

I'll bet there were two "Somebodys" who were lonely after their drive early in the morning Won't we be glad when there are no sad partings and we will be together always. Retired at 8.15 at night as I got my feet {wet??} and my legs were tired out from wading through the heavy snowfall during the night.

Saturday 15

A very frosty but bright day and I almost froze on the milk route. Charlie and Roscoe went skating at night but I wrote a letter to Harry instead and went to dream land in good time. Wiped the dishes after supper for Grace so I wouldn't get {out?} of practice.
