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!

Sunny this morning. I got to my washing about 8 AM. Dorothea, Jeff and Kim came and Dorothea helped. We went up in shed chamber. She took Jeff to dentist, took her car to garage. Kim fussy with teeth etc. She is real cute. Carmen and Jeff had a good time today. Dorothea has a cold. I ironed tonight.

Raining when we got up. It stopped. Kind of cloudy, a few spots of blue sky and a little sun once in a while. No work on the house this past week because of the awful weather. Mr. Stevens came for the chairs tonight. Dr. Richardson called to see Bill about gout.
