The blog posts below are taken from my grandmother's diaries. Althea Green Smith Crook was lovingly referred to as Nanny to her immediate family ~ thus her diaries are called Nanny's Diaries.

Nanny wrote in her diaries when she remembered to - mostly in the evening. There will be some years in which she didn't keep diaries and there will also be some days/weeks in her yearly diaries in which she skipped or forgot to write in them. For the most part, these are her words - written as she wrote them. There will be typos, forgotten punctuation, and other grammatical errors - but I am rewriting these as my Nanny originally wrote them.

As with all old handwriting, there are some entries that I can't quite make out - and these entries will be followed with a (?) to signify that this may or may not be correct or I can't figure out what she is trying to write.

Thank you Nanny for leaving us 50 years worth of memories! We miss you!

1000 Blog Post Views

Today we reached 1000 blog post views!! Modern technology was not Nanny's thing- she would never understand what a blog or internet was, so where ever she is - I hope she doesn't mind that I am posting her diaries for the world to read. She was the nicest lady I knew, and funniest too -even when she didn't try to be!! I love you Nanny - and miss you! Thank you for leaving us your legacy.
