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!

May 12 - 14, 1990 Kathy Wolff's Wedding


 

Saturday, May 12, 1990

 

It has been a very nice day. I baked beans, made a cake and bread or rolls. Carmen came and cleaned. Kathleen Wolff was married today. It turned out to be such a nice day for the wedding. It was a very nice one at the Congregational church. The reception at the American Legion over in Harrison. That too was very nice. Buddy gave her away.

 

 

 

Sunday, May 13, 1990 RAIN hard at times

 

Zack here today and cleaned the cupboards, lower ones in the kitchen and did the radiators. He did a good job too. He worked hard all day. Well I had a nice Mother’s Day. Well Carmen cooked a very nice turkey and she brought it up here and we had a very nice turkey sandwich supper. It was delicious, cooked to a perfection. Also had her mother for her mother’s day. Walt and Zack also Kim and Tom. Kim helped her to do the whole bit. Very nice dinner and nice gifts. Thanks to all concerned. Betty got her new Collie Shepherd puppy and also her baby chicks. Dorothea not very good.
