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!

February 2 - 4, 1991

 

Saturday, February 2, 1991

 

Very nice sunny day. It was 10 below this morning, but warmed up during the day. I done regular housework. David came for coffee. He is having problems with his back, serious and it may be a long while before he goes back to work. Walt came up to see David about Zack doing trucking. Carmen came about noon and done chores. I read papers, worked at desk. Sent Cliff  and Carmens’ birthday cards.

A very nice March day. Just like March. I’ve been busy doing letters, bills etc. Walt here for coffee. Betty came up and brought Billie a box for his papers. Betty and Dorothea here in p.m. Took Billie’s blood pressure and Betty fixed his box

A nice sunny day. I sent the bills out today. Carmen took them. And done regular work. Carmen came and done some work. She is excited as she is going out to supper with Arnold as a birthday gift from Betty and Walt. She enjoyed their evening very much. He is a nice guy, but problems.
