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!

Christmases Past





MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas 
and a 
Happy New Year!


 Here's a few fun family photos of Nanny from Christmases past.
The only time Nanny ever wore pants! When she tried them on after someone gave her a pair for Christmas!

She always sat at her card table on Christmas Eve to open her presents.

One of her most favorite gifts to receive ~ CHOCOLATE
                         Note the desk in the background - this is the new desk she just bought in 1957!                                              
One of her other favorite gifts was a new package of CRAYONS - She loved the smell of them!  With Betty and Billie 


Thank you for reading Nanny's Diaries.
