April Friday 22 1927

Took away three cattle we had sold to Mr. Meggs in morning and had an interesting race when one {word unclear - red?} one headed homeward. Red pair weighted 2070 and {word unclear - roan?} one 1210. Received our first share of the cattle money. Plowed 28 rounds in 4 1/2 hrs in afternoon. Five piece orchestra played at shower friends and neighbours gave Lou at night and maybe I didn't enjoy some swell dances with Jean.

Saturday 23

Didn't get up very early, did the chores up and then got dressed and Dan and I made a fast trip to town for some eggs and the ice cream. Lou and Jack were married about 12.10 and the sun was shining. Had a queer feed afterwards and then saw the happy couple off even if we did have to go to Brantford in the Dodge and we took Eleanor with us.

Sunday 24

A nice cool Sunday morning. Jean and I drove our horse and buggy to church and I went to sleep and Mrs Parsons was laughing at me. Up home for dinner and I did the carving. Pleasant afternoon and Rock came up for a few minutes. Websters were here when we got back about five but didn't stay long.

April Monday 25 1927

A fine day including clouds and sunshine and a light shower of snow and rain at noon turning milder towards night. Dan and I plowed all day and finished the big field south of the barn. I finished four lands so no wonder my arms and legs ached at night. Helped Jean wring out my combinations at noon.
