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!

It was a very nice day. Arnold and Jason cleaned the well out. Brogan happy this morning riding in the truck with Betty. Also had a good time, so happy until she got home and got in trouble when she got to playing with BJ. Betty got her lawns mowed.

I got a nice phone call. Zac called this p.m. It was good talking to him. He is still working. He and his girlfriend went to the park on a picnic. Dorothea called this evening. Back at the work. Arnold took care of Brogan. Tried the pump, it didn’t work. I called Williams (plumber).
