February Wednesday 3 1926

Went to bed at 1:15. Felt pretty good when I got up after four hours sleep but my legs were pretty tired when I got home from the milk route. Received some nice compliments about Jean.

Thursday 4

Light fall of snow during the night made the sleigh run better. Lovely winter day. Had a busy afternoon bottling up first can of milk we received from Percy Van Sickle. Had a chat with Jean and retired early.

Friday 5

Walked to town at night where I met Jack, Lou and Jean and we saw Harold Lloyd in "The Freshman" at the Capitol. Some picture and we had a good laugh. High School Commencement also. Paris beat {illegible }

Alex was on the sick list so it {kept?} Tom, Earl and I busy doing chores in his absence. Uncle Tom went to town but went to bed early.

Sunday 7

Home from town and had my bottles all washed up and ready for dinner at 1:20. Mr and Mrs Roy Kelly and Grandma and Grandpa Willamson were here for dinner. Helped with chores at night and then went up to Jean's for tea where I had a very nice time.

Paris held Port Colbourne to a tie of four all in game at the port. As usual a busy day for me on Monday.
