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!

April 26 - 28, 1987

 

Sunday, April 26, 1987

 

This is been another very nice sunny day. Not too warm outside. Milan called and had coffee. Walt was up for coffee also. I done some odds and end jobs today. For supper Betty H sent up some Italian sandwiches. Good. Billie and I down to Milan and Betty’s to call Esther, but she wasn’t at home. Betty S gave me some pie for our supper. Mousse filling, it was delicious. Had a good supper from my neighbors.

It has been a quite nice sunny day, not very hot. Anyway Carmen and Betty came, they cleaned the back porch. Brogan too. Also Susan called in this morning to visit. She had a dish of chocolate pudding and cream while she was here. We talked a while. She thinks Brogan is very cute. Enjoyed holding her. I did a washing. Bill been reading all day. Billie to Dr. Goldenhar’s at Fryeburg.

It clouded up and on the cold side. About late PM it rained and snow flurries, at about supper it began to snow hard and it accumulated fast. Carmen to town and did the shopping. And she did the regular cleaning.
