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!

A very nice sunny day, on the cool side. The wind was blowing most of the day. Esther worked on her things, albums etc. Bill went to see the doctor. He had him come right to the hospital for x-rays, tests etc. I went up to see Kim’s house. It is very nice. Kim is very pleased with it.

A fair day, a lot of sunshine. We did a big wash. Carmen came and cleaned. Billie and Esther down to see Dr. Doyle. He said Bill has bowel troubles, Dr. Doyle told Billie. Bill called up tonight and wants some things brought in for him. He said the Dr. found more trouble today. It is the liver. Betty and Esther down to see him tonight. Today we went down to Thena’s. Esther, Betty H, Betty S, Dorothea, Kim and I. We took pictures and talked. Esther worked on her things, packages etc.
