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!

Friday, July 23, 1976

 

I went to town in a.m. with Bill. Came home and Betty and I went down to South Windham. Kids went with us. Laurie and Carmen stayed at the Animal Refuge Farm. Betty, Kimmy, Zak and I called at Dorothea’s. Stopped at a couple barn sales. They came and got the flagpole.

 

 

 

Saturday, July 24, 1976 LLOYD CAME HOME

 

I done my regular work. It was raining when we got up. It cleared. Kimmy watch TV most of the morning. I baked a few beans today. Billie and I picked the string beans. Bill was more or less busy. Billie down to New Gloucester, over to Twitchell’s and went to see about getting the pullets. Carmen up in PM. Today Lloyd came home from the NC Hospital after being in hospital for five weeks. He should have stayed another week.
