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!

August 10 - 13, 1991 Norma and Jason Leave

 

Saturday, August 10, 1991 Jason Knick 15 yesterday

 

At last good rain has come. It rained very hard all night and all day. Then early evening it cleared off in early evening. I got the work done up early, and got ready and went to the airport, Betty H, Betty S and I. We took Norma and Jason to leave for California. We called at Zack’s new home, found him very well settled and in a nice apartment. Very neat and clean. It looks so nice. He came home with us to be at the 81st holiday party of the old old lady. David here for coffee and fixed pump.

Well Norma and Jason got home okay. Today my 81st birthday was celebrated at Twin Oaks. I got nice gifts, money, candy, a new hassock, beautiful cards. The whole family was there. A nice cookout. It was very nice and I appreciate it all very much. I have a nice family. Kind and thoughtful.
