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!

January 26 - 30, 1978

Thursday, January 26, 1978 NO SCHOOL

 

It rained and a bad day. There wasn’t any school. I did some odds and end jobs. Carmen called. Didn’t go to town because of the traveling.

Dingle - he certainly used his nine lives!

A partly cloudy day. I done my work and got ready. Susan drove Delores and me to town. I came home and Kimmy came up for the night.
