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!

Cloudy all a.m. David came and had coffee and made a visit. Carmen and Brogan came. I read papers. And listen to news on the Sunday specials or weekly. Carmen and Brogan call.

 

 

 

Sunday, March 17, 1991

 

Betty took scrapbooks home. It was nice having Betty Smith drop in. A St. Patrick’s Day dinner at Betty’s. I attended. They had decorated very pretty green and white streamers. Green and white balloons etc. A big gang. Betty, Walt entertained, Carmen and Kim, Brogan, Betty Smith, Joy, Cindy, Dorothea, Arnold and his children, Tom and me. They brought Billie’s dinner up.

 


 

 

Monday, March 18, 1991 Carmen back to work at NCM

 

A cloudy day, we are to have some rain and mixed with snow for a few days. I washed. Tonight Zack called again. He called to see how I was feeling. He is thoughtful. It was nice talking to him. I didn’t do much. I did the washing. Betty came and got the supper. She prepared it. Very good. Well Carmen back to work at NCM. (Blank) years ago she got through on this job. Brogan missed her. Dorothea and David to Lewiston for test, x-rays etc. Not too bad a day.
