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!

February 25 - 27, 1989

 

Saturday, February 25, 1989

 

It was snowing when we got up. It cleared away in middle of forenoon then the sun came out. I done regular work. Washed floors, made a cake. David came down and had coffee this morning. Carmen called in PM and brought me a loaf of bread from the bakery. Zak called at suppertime. Carmen had company for supper. The Willette girls. Brogan up to Betty’s this PM.

A very nice sunny day. It was quite cold. I didn’t do much. Regular work. Walt and Zack here at breakfast time. Carmen and Brogan came in PM for a short time. I made out the bills and wrote to Esther. It has been such a long day. I made Welch Rabbit for supper. Very good.

A nice sunny day. I did the washing. I watched the a.m. programs. I cooked a roast beef supper. Zack was here. He loved the supper. Carmen came and cleaned today. She has a date tonight with a guy from Portland. I hope she enjoys the evening. Kim came up today and had lunch. Billie did regular work. Betty called a minute. Brogan and I went to town with her.
