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!

September 1 - 3, 1990

 

Saturday, September 1, 1990 Talked with Zack

 

A nice sunny day, on the hot side. I didn't do much today except my regular work which isn't much anymore. My eye is improving every day. Betty called. David here for coffee in a.m. Carmen and Brogan here for lunch and Carmen got supper. Done up the work. Billy mowed lawns. They look very nice. Edgar John’s service today. This morning I had a call from Zack. It was so good to hear his voice. He is still doing well and getting a lot out of what he is doing. It is worth so much to know of his progress. I hope he has good luck rest of his life.
