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 5 - 7, 1991 Carmen's 28th Birthday

 

Tuesday, February 5, 1991 Carmen 28 years

 

Well Carmen came and done the chores etc. I washed Kassie’s bed. I done regular work. Kim came and cleaned Kassie’s bed and took her to vets and went after her. Well tonight Betty had a birthday supper for Carmen. They had as guests Arnold and his children, Tom and Charlene, Zack and Brogan. They had a good supper and good time. She got a lot of nice gifts, which she was very pleased.

Well I done regular work. Carmen came for a little while. Dorothea and Betty called. Betty is quite shook up, her eyes are not too good. It is cloudy and rainy. Dorothea took Betty Smith to the doctor in Norway where she will have her operation. Billie is better today and okay. Joyce, the nurse, came to see him today to check his blood pressure, sugar etc. Not good news about Zack.
