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!

January 5 - 8, 1991

 

Saturday, January 5, 1991

 

A nice sunny morning. It clouded up in p.m. David came for coffee. He looks like a dead man. He is so tired. I done regular work, worked at the desk all morning checking out papers etc. Carmen came and did the hens at noon time.

A quite nice day. Walt up for coffee. Betty brought up some delicious Italian sandwiches for supper. Tom Martin came home from hospital. Dorothea came and Susan.

I didn’t do much today. I worked on the puzzle. Carmen came, made cookies and a chocolate pudding. Man came and worked on the cupboard on the breezeway and stored the steps in the garage. Betty up and got some things in the new cupboard on the breezeway.

A beautiful day, sunny, on the coolish side. I did a wash. The therapist came for Billie. Carmen took Billie’s truck for a overhaul. Carmen been busy all day, errands as usual. Walt and Zack to Portland to court. I worked on the puzzle.
