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 28 - 30, 1978 Zak or Zack!

Monday, August 28, 1978 RAIN, ZACK

 

Today we took Zak to the CMMC hospital in Lewiston. He will be operated on tomorrow. Carmen and Kim went to the dentist. It has rained very hard all day and we needed this rain so bad. We have just had a very bad drought. Zak didn’t mind we came away and left him. He had another little boy in his room. We got home at about 4 PM.
