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!

June 21 - 24, 1978

Wednesday, June 21, 1978 RAIN

 

Well another one of those miserable days. Rain cloudy and foggy. At least the sun got out through the thinness of a few moving clouds. Picked up the glass today down in the pasture. Carmen, Betty and me. Kim went to town with Dawn. I was down to Betty’s for a little while. Went up to Dawn’s house for a little while. Bill worked on Saltman’s canoes. I did my ironing.

Well it was all kinds of a weather day today. I done my regular work also the weekend jobs. Bill worked on the canoes. I went down to Betty’s for a little while. She and Dawn busy. Carmen mowed, Kim doing her work. It seemed good to see some sun today. We got a rain shower.

A nice day, on the cool windy side. I done my regular work. Made a few rolls, baked beans. Carmen is expecting Donny tomorrow for a day and a half. Bill worked on the boat. Billie went with Lawrence. Kids up here. Late this PM Carmen got a call from Donny, he can’t get off till Monday.
