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!

Well, it has been cloudy and drizzly rain or snow all day. Well, I have been alone today. I got a lot done. It is so good to be alone. I get so much done and think. Bill went ice fishing with Ilan. Billie, Carmen and Dawn went ice fishing down to Dresden on the coast today. Betty and Walt called, also Kim came up.

A quite nice day, sunny. I done my regular work, cleaned smelts and pickerel. Then I worked on the puzzle. Went down to Fern’s with Billie for a little while. Bill and Ilan fishing. Bill took Heidi with him.

A cloudy foggy day. I couldn’t wash. I done up my work, went down to Fern’s. Helped her do her refrigerator and copied a record for her. Bill went fishing. I came home, worked on my puzzle, watched my 2 programs.
