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!

March 12 - 14, 1985

Tuesday, March 12, 1985 PERM

 

It rained hard all day. I got up early, got ready, went to Barbara’s, got a permanent. I came home. Watched some more or rest of programs. Cleaned a few more dishes. Got supper. Carmen called late in evening.

A partly sunny day, very windy. I worked on more pots and pans. Got ready, went down to see Fern. She was glad we came. Dorothea and me. Carmen was there, also Kim came in on her way to work. I cooked a chicken dinner. Carmen was here for supper. I sent some down for Kim’s supper. Betty called. I made a lemon pie. I made a lemon meringue pie.

Partly sunshine. A nice mild day. I went to town with Dorothea and did the shopping. Came home, worked on those dishes. I got them all scoured, pots and pans. Also got the glass dishes (Pyrex) washed. Bill and I down to Betty’s. She has torn the inside of Mama’s bedroom out. It looks odd. She started it first of the week.
