Dear Diary – April 2 – April 12 1961
***
For those who haven’t seen my Dear Diary posts before, a little explanation. This is my actual diary I wrote in for a full year, when I was 10 years old. I wrote every day, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, sometimes funny, sometimes boring, but it was all recorded. Names of relatives are only first initials with relationship in parentheses. I’ve typed the entries just as I wrote them, misspellings and all, but corrected in parentheses. More posts of Dear Diary can be found by using categories, or search box. Hope you enjoy reading my childhood diary! 🙂

Thanks, Willow! Yes, most of my relatives all lived very close together in the neighborhood, so we visited a lot, and my cousins, sister, and I were always out and about playing whatever we thought up. Way before computer games and phones and such. Good times. 🙂

You had the cramp, huh? It must have been bad to keep you in bed the whole day!
