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!

They moved Angel and the pony and Misty up to Carmen’s or the shelter. Tonight Carmen has a date. She took Bro down to Betty’s for the night. Betty finishing up her housecleaning. They finished the back barn at Betty and Walt’s.

A very rainy day, very hard in p.m. and evening. David down for coffee this morning. Dorothea and Betty called in p.m. Betty got her housecleaning all done and her work outside. I done regular work and washed. Carmen called, she didn’t care for her date last night. Arnold moved into the shelter with his two children.
