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 5 - 8, 1978

 

Monday, June 5, 1978

 

A beautiful day. I did a wash. Bill worked on the new field after it got dried off. Betty came up, we went over the breezeway, found some things we had been looking for.

It has been a nice sunny day, on the cool windy side. Fern up today for the day while Esther went to Shaw’s with Susan. Fern enjoyed the change. Betty and Dawn busy all day.

It is been a nice warm sunny day. It got cloudy in late PM. I done regular work, I did a wash. I took a walk down through the field. Bill is working on the new field. I then walked over to Betty’s for a little while. I got the clothes in and did the ironing. Billie down to Betty’s for spaghetti and meatballs supper. It has been mild today.

In for a rainy showery day. Well it has rained. I done up my work, defrosted refrigerator and to town in PM. I watched the 2 programs in PM.
