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!

April 22 - 25, 1991

 

 

Monday, April 22, 1991

 

Miserable day. I did a washing. Took a bath. Over to the doctor at North Bridgton. So the cloudy rainy miserable day. Carmen working all night tonight. Jason here and he and Billie got a lot done. Kim varnished second coat on cupboard.

Well we had some nice sunshine today. Carm here, she went to town, did some errands for Billie and I as usual. I done some odd and end jobs. Billie working outside to the best of his present ability. Carmen had a good supper as usual. David came down. They took Angel and Frisky home today. Carmen worked all night last night.

A nice day. I wrote out the store list. Billie to town with Carmen and get his hair cut.

 

 

 

Thursday, April 25, 1991 PERM

 

Well I got up very early this morning. Took a bath, got the breakfast and got the work done. Carmen came at about 8:30, took me down. I got my perm. How glad I am. Kim came and painted the breezeway floor. It looks so nice
