Monday 7

Dad met us in Paris at the station after our train was 37 minutes late and we had a dark and muddy drive home. Jean and I spent our first whole night together at my home and had a real sleep as there wasn't any noise to bother us.

March Tuesday 8 1927

Arrived back and took up my new abode at Hazel Grove just before dinner time. After we had our pictures taken I changed my clothes and went out to help load up a load of turnips. Left my horse at Lushmans when Jean and I went to Galt and helped present the play "Robert and Mary" at Wesley United church.

Wednesday 9

Helped milk in the morning for the first time on Calamity Farm. Dan took the last load of turnips and the price was thirty cents per bushel. Drove Jean and Lou up home for a while in the afternoon to see Mother about the reception.

Thursday 10

Jean and I shipped the cream in the morning and did some shopping while we were in town and were home by noon. Opened a joint account at the Bank of Toronto and deposited $125.00
