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!

Rained hard all day. Bill, Carmen and I had to go to Norway. Came home, I did some letter writing, figuring etc. Cleaned up the house, picked over papers etc.

A very nice day, on the warm side and sunny. Helen and kids called. Gordon came down and had coffee. I washed and done some packing upstairs. Carmen having a good time here all the time.



Friday, May 5, 1967

A cloudy day and showers most all day. No work on the house today. Gordon came up, he took me to town. Fern and Lloyd called. Windows came for the house today. Gordon didn’t work, he came up and took me to town. Bill took me to town after supper.
