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!

A beautiful day, very nice and sunny all day and mild. Carmen came and cleaned the house. Got a good supper. Betty was here, Walt in Rhode Island. Well Carmen got a set of beautiful pictures of Brogan. She had them taken some time ago. They were so good. She is a beautiful child. Smarter than a cricket. Dorothea called in p.m. and after supper.

Mostly cloudy all day. Jason here and worked. Betty and Brogan here. Billie and Jason fixed the doorsteps. I did some checking over my bank book, etc. Walt got home at about 2 o’clock. David didn’t come for coffee. Billie got a lot of his chores done today.
