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 8 - 11, 1991

 

Friday, February 8, 1991

 

A very nice day after the clouds passed on. Carmen came, done the chores and cleaned up the house. Zac came and took a shower and did his washing. I hope you will get on to a solid base for himself. He left for New Hampshire this afternoon to take the course in driving big express trucks. I wish him the best of luck. No matter or what, I love that boy. Carmen and Brogan both have colds and don’t feel too great. Billie still better.

Very nice and sunny and springlike day. David came down for coffee this morning. Tom Harriman called in for a little while this morning. He is such a very nice man. I hope Kim will get married to him. This is been such a nice day. Carmen came for just a little while. Dorothea in for a minute.

Today I wrote to Esther and Billie D. Walt up for coffee. He had to go to Portland to get Zack. Zack had some things to do downtown. Carmen moved her hens today.

A quite nice day. Colder this morning. I done up my regular work. Got my letters off today. Carmen called and Brogan.
