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!

December 28 - 30, 1990 Billie Home For Good From Rehab For His Stroke

 

Friday, December 28, 1990 BILLIE HOME

 

Cloudy, snow and rain. Today Billie came home for good from the NEW ENGLAND REHABILITATION from Portland. He is better. He still has got to have therapy treatment. He was very glad to get home. Walt went down and got him. He had callers. Carmen came and cleaned, also in the garage. We are glad to have him home again. Hope he never has another spell.

Cloudy and rainy all day and freezing on the road. A lot of cars went off the road down the corner below Walt’s. Carmen came and did the hens etc. I done regular work and made some beans. Carmen made some very nice rolls and brought some. They were the best rolls I have ever ate. I never will make them again. Robert Martin got hurt today, in the hospital in Portland. A very bad cut. It may be he will have plastic surgery.

Another cloudy dreary day. Cloudy, foggy. Billie’s first Sunday home. I did regular work and made out the bills. Carmen came up and did the chores. Then came again tonight. Kim called also this p.m. and made a nice visit. Joy called this evening. Tom Martin operated on, very sick.
