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 21 - 22, 1987 Height of the Land

Friday, August 21, 1987

 

A very nice sunny cool day. I done up the work. Made a cake and brownies. Dorothea, Esther, Milan and Betty and I all went over to Evergreen Valley and around over to East Stoneham. Esther came back from Dorothea’s today after visiting for a couple days.

 

 

 

Saturday, August 22, 1987 HEIGHT OF THE LAND

 

A big day. Got up early to get ready to go on the all day trip. It was cloudy some and some sun. We all got ready and gathered here at this house. Well the time came and no bus, we waited. So they began to call around to see what happened. The bus was broken down so they got another bus. So we got packed up and left about 11:15. Very nice drivers. Betty H, Betty S, Esther, Dennis, Carmen, Brogan, Billie, Joy, Susan, Kim, Zack, Dorothea and me. We went way up to the Height of the Land. We all enjoyed the trip very much. Had a very good lunch. Brogan was very good all day.
