Susan and I have been doing the Oakville Beaver together for about a year, I have been doing them for about a year ancf a half. W e like getting togeth er and doing papers 3 times a week. Susan likes packing papers the most and I like delivering the papers the most, but we each do both and sometimes we do them seperately. W e are happy that we know almost everyone on our street just from doing papers. W e also got Christmas cards and extra money from some people we deliver to. Susan Emily Sometimes, about once every 2 months we go shopping together using our paper money. It is easier doing papers with two people because when one o f us is on vacation the other person does the papers for them and get paid more money. I think doing the Oakville Beaver makes Susan and I more responsible!
