Funny & Found -aw aw aw aw Stupid

***

I always declare it ‘awesome’ when I find things like these …

I’m forever buying used notebooks, diaries, scrapbooks, yearbooks, and finding fun things in them.  I also find other things that are funny, or it’s funny where I find them.

I find people’s discarded grocery lists, too, along with whole photo albums, cards and letters.

I just like finding things like these, because I try to imagine who wrote them, why something was discarded, and what the people’s stories are.

So, I’ll post a few of these from time to time.

Here’s a page from a little used notebook that I bought at a yard sale. I’m sure it belonged to a kid. They didn’t write much in it, though.

This one was in a lilac and light blue notebook with flowers on it. The page is lined, and a big red letter W was scribbled on it, with the word ‘stupid’. The only writing in ink was the top line saying, ‘aw aw aw aw aw aw’.

DEAR DIARY – JANUARY 21 – 31, 1961

DEAR DIARY – JANUARY 21 – 32, 1961

GE DIGITAL CAMERA

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any of my Dear Diary entries…too long. I will be playing catch-up a little at a time.

For new followers (thank you so much!) this series is my actual Diary entries from 1961 through 1962, when I was 10 years old. I wrote in it every day…sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, but I didn’t skip a day. As you can see, I’ve been a writer from the earliest days…even this diary was not my first one. I don’t know what happened to all the others I had, because this one is all I could find.

I don’t mention any names of family or friends, but use their initials, and say how they are related to me. I am transcribing the words just as I wrote them, mistakes and all, and will indicate the correction made now.

Hope you enjoy reading my Dear Diary!
