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!

August 25 - 27, 1978 GLASSES

Friday, August 25, 1978 GLASSES

 

A nice day. I went shopping with Delores, Susan and Kim. I came home and done some odds and end jobs. Billie to Acton Fair with Lawrence.

It was a nice day. I done my regular work. The New Hope Farm had a baked sale. They did very well. Billie mowed the fields over today. Walt soil testing. Betty up to the shelter etc. Today Carmen went up to Donny’s. I hope they will continue to be friends. He gives her a chance to have a good time. Kimmy at the bake sale most of the day.

It’s been a clear sunny but on the cool breezy side. Didn’t get up till 7:15, done up the work. Zak and Vince came for breakfast, they slept over in the play house last night. Billie gone with Lawrence down to the Acton Fair to get a load of cattle. Bill worked on the wood.
