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 9, 1986 1961 Class Reunion

Saturday, August 9, 1986 Rain Showers

 

Well a mixed day. Finally it cleared and dried enough so Bill got parts of the lawn mowed, then down came more rain showers at suppertime. Awful thundershowers. Well Betty and Walt to the class reunion. Betty and Walt entertained a group at their home before they left. They had a very nice time at the reunion. All was so glad to see each other. It was over to Denmark. We had awful showers and lost the power. Carmen came for supper. Also Zack was here.
