Current Page Transcription [edit] [history]

May Friday 28 1926

Had a big day on my milk route peddling 120 quarts of cow juice. Felt rather tired after the night before so retired early.

Saturday 29

Jean and I both had to attend a length meeting of U.F.Y.P.O. directors in the Community Building so didn't get a chance to get a milkshake or have a chat in the Dodge.

Sunday 30

Helped Jimmie milk so he could go with me on route. I sure had some time with him. Busy all afternoon working {for? illegible} dairy. Buck, Sidney, and McCrow company came down for a while and I felt so tired at night that I stayed at home for first Sun evening in months. In bed 8.45.

May Monday 31 1926

Gave Jean her first ride behind "Dolly of Bendemere" when she took us for a pleasant drive around the block. Spent the last couple of hours of May 1926 listening to the radio.

June Tuesday 1

Started another month off right trying to sing and dancing with Jean. Home and in bed at 2.15 but not with out getting caught in the rain which started when I was almost home but later came down heavily. Jim and I drove up to hospital at night to see Samson even if it was raining.

Wednesday 2

A fine Spring day. Alex drove truck to Goderich for Geo. Telfer. Andrew, Jimmie, and I went up to Clarence Lees to get ready for play. Rather a busy session and didn't get back until late. Made a record when I peddled 124 quarts.
