Memorandum from 1926 {blank}

January Saturday 1 1927

Started off my second New Year with Jean but this time my head was resting peacefully in Jean's lap while we were, at least I was thinking of the things that were before us in the year 1927, instead of dancing. After a dainty lunch I had a few nice dances with Jean and then homeward after helping Jack up the hill. Home and in bed at 3 A.M. After such a fine start 1927 ought to be a great year for Jean and I.

Sunday 2

Went in to see Dr Munro in morning with a sore foot and found that I had falling arches. Later than usual getting home as it was 11 o'clock when I left the doctor's office. Roscoe and I had our first cutter ride of the season when he went up home and I went after Jean and took her up too. Had a nice drive together and a pleasant evening with Mother and Dad even if we were later getting home. Jean and I to read diaries for a while.

Monday 3

My feet were pretty sore so I hired Lloyd Roos to stay out of school and help me peddle the milk. Bought new pair of shoes and got a pair of arch supports at Geo Inkeaters. Maybe my feet didn't ache at night after wearing them in the afternoon. Read part of Jean's diary and retired at nine o'clock.
