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 9 - 11, 1978 Party for Zenya

Friday, June 9, 1978

 

It rained, foggy and messy. Joy came early this morning for coffee. Then Susan and Monica came for water. Bill to hospital for checkup. Tonight Carmen had a party at her house. It was honoring Zenya on her birthday. A group of kids at her school.

 





 

 

 

 

Saturday, June 10, 1978 nice day, windy

 

A nice day but on the cool windy side. We need the wind to dry out the ground after all the rain. I done my regular work, washed. Made some rolls, tougher then old tripe. Had some good baked beans. Zak here all day.

 

 

 

Sunday, June 11, 1978 sunny and mild

 

 A very nice day, it was very warm in PM. I done my regular work. Finished looking at the B news. Esther called in early a.m. Kim and Zak called. Bill and Billie fixed for mowing machine, getting ready to do the haying. Joy, Betty, Walt and Bobby Hatch called in PM. Bill took Carmen and Kim down to help him fix something on the beach, a pair of stairs at Barnaby’s.
