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!

Wednesday, July 25, 1990

 

It was cloudy and rainy when we got up but the clouds broke away. Blue sky appeared in the west. Later on it cleared and was a very nice sunny day. Betty came and got Cliff, Betty Smith and me and took us up to camp. Later on Esther and the Sullivans came. Also Carmen, Kim and Brogan. We had a sloppy Joe dinner and dessert etc. It was nice talking and seeing them. After supper Dorothea came and we went to the band concert. Esther, Cliff, Betty Smith and myself.
