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!

September 21 - 23, 1986

 

Sunday, September 21, 1986

 

Got the work done up and Walt came for coffee. He is pleased about Zack. It cleared off some this PM. I worked at the desk today. Wrote letters etc. Miss having Zack around these days.

 

 

 

Monday, September 22, 1986 a beautiful day

 

A very nice sunny day. I done the work. Billie, Milan and I went down and got the beans and potatoes this forenoon. We got to go back and get some more potatoes later. I made a pudding for supper. Dorothea and Iva was here this evening. They had been to exercise classes. Richard Alberts house was broken into today. Police called to see if we had seen anyone suspicious around or driving by here.

 

 

 

Tuesday, September 23, 1986 KIM CALLED TONIGHT

 

It was worth a million to hear from Kim tonight. They have moved into their new house in length. Eddie is out to sea and Kim is all alone. I hope she will be okay. She is going for an interview for a job this week, also she has other jobs she is looking into. They are in a bind now. Hope it will soon be over. Carmen came today, she cleaned the house then we straightened out some closets etc. Randy Morrison called. I paid him for the water filter, we will get it Thursday.
