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!

Friday, July 12, 1991

 

A nice day, sunny. I did a washing, regular work. Carmen didn’t get in today. She will work tonight from 3 to 11 PM. Bro down to her grandmother and grandfather’s. She was very pleased. Betty and Carmen talked over things all p.m. Betty brought us some very good fish for supper.

 

 

 

Saturday, July 13, 1991 RAIN AT LAST

 

Well got up early, done regular work. Then I got ready to go to the parade over to Harrison. It was nice and sunny in forenoon. Carmen took us over. Dorothea, Betty Smith, Brogan and I. It was a very nice parade. We enjoyed it very much. The rain came after it was all over. And it rained hard all p.m. and into the evening. Betty up to Twin Oaks today for a class reunion, several of her closest girlfriends. Carmen cooked a delicious supper, pot roast and a delicious apple pie. Arnold Smith is taking her out to the movies tonight. I’m very pleased for her sake. Kim caring for Brogan. Very good parade.
