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!

Tuesday, February 21, 1989

 

It was snowing hard this morning when we got up. I wrote to Dot. I made a custard pie, first one I have made for a long time. It was good. I watched TV shows. Zak worked last night. We got about three or 4 inches of snow

It rained hard all day. I done up regular work. Went down to Betty’s. Also Betty Smith, we looked at the picture albums. Brogan was there. Billie cleaned up the loose snow in the driveway and around the barn so to help the water from running in. Carmen and Kim here for lunch. Zack been busy working on the roads. He got a good paycheck this week.

A nice sunny day. I did a wash, I watched the morning shows. Phonie came and plowed tonight. I made a chicken pie and a bread pudding. Betty called a minute. She, Walt and Brogan up to New Hampshire. Carmen called with Brogan and ate supper with us. Billie and I watched PM TV shows. He got his haircut today.

A nice day, I did the ironing. Made a chocolate pudding. They worked on the house today. It looks so nice with the white siding on it. Carmen dropped in for a little while.
