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!

October 2 - 5, 1987

Friday, October 2, 1987

 

A nice day. I worked at the desk and got started on the bills. I watched some shows today. Walt had his telephone put in today for his office work. Checks came today. Bill took them down and cashed them.

A partly cloudy day in a.m. It was cloudy, foggy and some sun. In PM it was cloudy and rainy in PM. Then during the night it rained hard all night. I done regular work, washed floors, made a cake. Kim and Eddie called also Zack. Betty and Walt up to New Hampshire. Dorothea got a call from Jeff, he was picked up for speeding or such. Carmen didn’t come over today.

 

 

 

Sunday, October 4, 1987 Heavy Rains.

 

Walt up for coffee and Zack up for breakfast. Betty don’t feel very good. I got the bills ready to go out.

A quite nice day after the fog cleared away. I washed and ironed. Carmen came and cleaned, it was quite late because she took Brogan for a checkup at the doctors. She is doing okay. David came down this morning, he helped Billie get the posts from the woods and into the shed. Also other things.
