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!

June 17 - 18, 1987

 

Wednesday, June 17, 1987 Horses Came Back, BROGAN ALYSSA HORTON WILLETTE 8 months old today

 

It will dry today, and she has to get moved out soon. Kim up for breakfast. I done a wash and ironing and other odd jobs. This is been a nice day. Today they brought the horses back from Carmen’s.

Betty and I over to Carmen’s to see the new furniture. Her place looks very nice but a lot has got to be done to put the finishing touches on.
