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!

October 28 - 31, 1990 Halloween

It was nice and sunny when we got up but it clouded up. Walt up for coffee this morning. I worked at the desk this morning.

I washed. Carmen to the doctor for allergy test. She has so many scratches on her back. I hope now she can get something to help her. Billie been doing odds and end jobs. For supper we had Kentucky Fried Chicken. Kim up this morning.

Today Carmen, Brogan and I went to look at some floor covering for the living room floor. It was too expensive. I got to do something because of Carmen’s asthma. She suffers so with that. Carmen took Billie to the doctor. He is in quite good condition. Dorothea called this evening. Also Brogan and Carmen with their jack-o’-lanterns.

A very hard windy day, on the cold side. I did the washing and ironing. Carmen came, to town, done the shopping. Also she got the deep freeze ready for the meat. Walt picked it up. Betty came and got my chair and took it up and had a lift put on it. Much much better. Betty got a call from Dr. Doyle this morning.
