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 4 - 6, 1990

 

Sunday, February 4, 1990 SNOW ALL DAY

 

We got a lot of snow, 10 to 12 inches. I didn’t do much. I wrote to Esther and sent Cliff’s card. Carmen called and Walt up for coffee. A miserable day. Carmen out on a new date.

 

 

 

Monday, February 5, 1990 ZAK’S FIRST DAY AT WORK

 

A very nice sunny day and mild. They came and plowed and shoveled. I did the washing and took care of rest of clippings. Cooked a sliced baked ham for supper. Today was Zack’s first day at work with a good job of his choice. He is very pleased. He didn’t come for supper. Carmen out on a new date tonight. Very good. Carmen’s 27th birthday.

 

 

 

Tuesday, February 6, 1990 Cliff’s birthday

 

A nice day, very warm. Carmen and Kim down to Betty’s then they went shopping over to Norway. They did my shopping. In PM they worked like mad at Betty’s. Carmen, Betty and Kim getting ready for the supper for their children and their friends. Carmen and Ray, Kim and Tom, Zak and Ann. Walt and Betty liked them all very much. They had a good time and was pleased. Brogan up here in PM and for supper. Billie had car trouble, it wouldn’t start.
